Documenting empirical correlates of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–3 (MMPI-3) scale scores is important for expanding the clinical utility of the instrument. To this end, the goals of the current study were to examine associations between scores on MMPI-3 scales and measures of anxiety sensitivity and distress intolerance, two constructs reflecting intolerance of negative emotional states that are implicated in many psychological conditions, and to identify the scales that most strongly predict each construct. Using a sample of 287 undergraduate students (71% women; M_age = 18.90, SD = 1.12; 85% White), zero-order correlational, regression, and dominance analyses were performed to address these goals. Results indicate that when MMPI-3 scale scores are considered conjointly by scale family, they predict meaningful variance in anxiety sensitivity and distress intolerance measure scores, with conceptually implicated scales offering the strongest prediction across scale families. Implications for both research and practice, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

记录明尼苏达多相人格量表 3 (MMPI-3) 量表分数的经验相关性对于扩大该仪器的临床实用性很重要。为此，本研究的目标是检查 MMPI-3 量表的分数与焦虑敏感性和痛苦不耐受的测量之间的关联，这两个结构反映了对许多心理状况所涉及的负面情绪状态的不耐受，并确定最强烈地预测每个构造的尺度。使用 287 名本科生的样本（71% 女性；M_年龄= 18.90，SD= 1.12; 85% White)、零阶相关、回归和优势分析来解决这些目标。结果表明，当 MMPI-3 量表分数被量表家族联合考虑时，它们预测焦虑敏感性和痛苦不耐受测量分数的有意义的变化，概念上涉及的量表提供跨量表家族的最强预测。讨论了对研究和实践的影响、局限性和未来的研究方向。
