Adolescents' MMPI Performance, Cynicism, Estrangement, and Personal Adjustment as a Function of Race and Sex.

Moore, Carolyn Denise; Handal, Paul J.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v36 n4 p932-36 Oct 1980

Results reveal no racial differences on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scales or the Adjective Checklist personal adjustment scale. Significant racial differences on the L, F and cynicism scales support the interpretation of cultural rather than differential racial adjustment. Sex differences were more prevalent than race differences. (Author)
