Construct Validation of the Sc Scale of the MMPI.

Keane, Susan Phillips; Gibbs, Margaret

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v36 n1 p152-58 Jan 1980

Results are interpreted as demonstrating the construct validity of the Sc scale in that the more pathological the profile, the greater degree of cognitive disturbance exhibited. (Author)
