Development of a three-scale MMPI: the MMPI-TRI
Article Abstract:
The MMPI-TRI psychological test, a 60-item short form of the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI), has been developed. The shorter MMPI has suitable internal consistency, independence, and high content validity. The MMPI-TRI provides three special scales of MMPI: acting out, subjective distress, and psychosis. Schizophrenics, prison inmates, and other psychotic groups had the highest mean scores on acting out, psychosis, and subjective distress. The instrumentation and norms of MMPI-TRI are discussed.

Article Abstract:
A study of 220 outpatients to investigate the dimensions of anxiety in a psychiatric population based on formulation of Templer, Corgiat, and Brooner yielded morbidity, subjective component and chronicity as three distinct dimensions of anxiety. Chronicity, stimulus specificity, subjective component and temporal constancy were measured by applying the Fear Survey Schedule, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hamilton Anxiety Scale and a Likert-formated criterial symptom.

Article Abstract:
A study of 200 persons from the general population to investigate the relationship of religious variables to death anxiety and death depression shows that strong religious beliefs in an afterlife are associated with less death anxiety and death depression. Persons with lower death depression exhibited more conviction, more belief in afterlife and persons with less death anxiety exhibited greater strength of conviction.
