A Comparison of MMPI Scores of Anglo- and Mexican-American Psychiatric Patients

Plemons, Grant

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 45, 1, 149-150, Feb 77

English-language Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventories (MMPI's) were administered to 40 bilingual Mexican-American and 109 Anglo-American psychiatric patients in a community mental health center. With K corrections, Mexican-American subjects scored higher on the L and K scales, but no significant differences were found on clinical scales of the MMPI. (Author)
