MMPI-2 with male and female state and federal prison inmates
Article Abstract:
The characteristic Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) patterns of prisoners must be established if the MMPI-2 is to play a role in the assessment of prisoners. Research in this area has addressed issues including how well the MMPI-2 differentiates criminal offenders from nonoffenders. It was established that there are clear MMPI-2 patterns and configurations among men and women held in prisons. Scores that may be very unusual in free-world circumstances are seen much more frequently in the criminal justice system.

People who live in glass houses ...: a response to the critique of the article "All that glitters is not always gold."
Article Abstract:
The original study contained errors which were not detected during the editing process. Mistakes occurred in describing group membership in Analysis 1 and the combination of mild and severe diagnosis group data under the mild group category in Table 3. However, when the errors in Table 3 have been corrected, the conclusions in Analysis 2 are closer with the findings obtained in Analysis 1. This new finding should reinforce the conclusions obtained in the original study.
