Reviews Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) performance as a function of ethnic group membership in Asian Americans, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans.

Bolter, John F.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1984
Contends that the Speech Sounds Perception Test form (Adult and Midrange versions) is structured such that correct responses can be determined rationally. If a patient identifies and responds according to that structure, the validity of the test is compromised. Posttest interview is suggested as a simple solution. (Author/JAC)

Calsyn, Donald A.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1980
Total errors served as the criterion, and combined errors from the first four subtests served as the predictor. Correlation coefficients of .89 and .88 were obtained in validation and cross-validation phases. The first four subtests provide a suitable, stable estimate of the total score in this population.

College students were treated with either a standard or modified version of systematic desensitization.

Wolf, Martin G. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1970
The findings of Masling and Harris were felt to violate the principle of parsimony and to cast unwarranted asperisons on the students who served as Es. The data were reinterpreted as showing that the male students were simply applying sound clinical principles in an attempt to do as well as possible on the task given them. (Author)
