External correlates of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profile scales were investigated in a racially mixed urban sample of 247 adolescent psychiatric inpatients and outpatients (140 males and 107 females). Correlates included items completed by the patients' mothers. Gender plays a role as moderator of scale interpretation during adolescence. (SLD)
