A major goal in the development of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), and subsequently, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) was linking the instrument to contemporary models of psychopathology. The present study evaluated whether the higher order structure of MMPI-3 scales, and in particular, the 26 Specific Problems as well as RC6 and RC8 (markers of thought disorder) scales aligned with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) model. For this purpose, a large diverse mental health sample (n = 1,537) and a male prison inmate sample (n = 452) were used to capture a diverse range of psychopathology. Confirmatory factor analyses generally supported the six HiTOP spectra in both samples, albeit with some important qualifications. Associations between latent factor scores and conceptually relevant external criterion measures further supported the validity of this model. Furthermore, Goldberg's sequential hierarchical factoring approach was used to evaluate the structure of MMPI-3 SP and RC6/RC8 at descending levels of the hierarchy. Again, most of the HiTOP spectra were replicated. The structures for the mental health and prison samples were generally similar with substantive differences being linked to their respective contexts. Overall, the results indicate that the hierarchical organization of the MMPI-3 scales is generally consistent with the extant psychopathology literature, which constitutes good support for overall construct validity of the scales.

将 MMPI-3 量表映射到精神病理学的等级分类法上。

开发 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) 和随后的 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) 的主要目标是将该工具与当代精神病理学模型联系起来。本研究评估了 MMPI-3 量表的高阶结构，特别是 26 个特定问题以及 RC6 和 RC8（思维障碍的标记）量表是否与精神病理学的等级分类法 (HiTOP) 模型一致。为此，我们使用了大量不同的心理健康样本 (n = 1,537) 和男性监狱囚犯样本 (n = 452) 来捕捉各种精神病理学。验证性因素分析通常支持两个样品中的六个 HiTOP 光谱，尽管有一些重要的资格。潜在因素得分与概念上相关的外部标准措施之间的关联进一步支持了该模型的有效性。此外，Goldberg 的顺序层次分解方法用于评估 MMPI-3 SP 和 RC6/RC8 在层次结构降序级别的结构。同样，大多数 HiTOP 光谱都被复制了。心理健康和监狱样本的结构大体相似，但存在与其各自背景相关的实质性差异。总的来说，结果表明 MMPI-3 量表的层次组织与现存的精神病理学文献大体一致，这为量表的整体结构有效性提供了良好的支持。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
