Abstract

Over the last several decades, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A) has continued to be the most extensively studied and commonly used adolescent assessment measure (Archer and Newsom 2000). Most recently, the MMPI-A was substantially revised resulting in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent-Restructured Form (MMPI-A-RF; Archer et al. 2016). The current study evaluated its construct validity in a sample of youth referred for mental health services. As a primary focus, the current research represents the first independent investigation of clinical correlates since the MMPI-A-RF test manual was published. This study particularly emphasized item-level symptom correlates that may further strengthen MMPI-A-RF interpretive statements. In particular, the RCd and RC4 evidenced especially strong convergent and discriminant validity, but findings raised some concerns about RC9. Combined with previous research, the current study highlighted the MMPI-A-RF’s usefulness in assessing psychopathology along the broad externalizing and internalizing spectrum.

These values correspond to Cohen’s ds of 0.75, 1.25, and 1.50 respectively (Rogers 2008).

The MMPI-A-RF, intended for ages 14 through 18, may be used with adolescents aged 13 with the appropriate reading level (Archer 2017).

The detention center shifted its priorities, prematurely ending data collection.
