Psychiatric Inpatient MMPI Profiles: An Exploration for Potential Racial Bias.

Johnson, Mark E.; Brems, Christiane

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v37 n2 p213-15 Apr 1990

Examined presence of racial bias in Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory's (MMPI) use with 22 Black and 22 White inpatient psychiatric patients. Found no statistically or clinically significant differences between 2 races on MMPI. Suggests that differences in previous studies may be attributable to variables other than race. (Author/PVV)
