MMPI Comparative Analysis MMPI-2 vs MMPI-3 Quiz 2

Question 1

MMPI-3 handles demoralization differently from MMPI-2 how?

Accepted Answer

Extracts demoralization as separate RCd scale; MMPI-2 clinical scales have shared demoralization variance

Answer

MMPI-3 extracts shared demoralization into RCd, preventing it from inflating other clinical scales. MMPI-2 clinical scales have extensive shared demoralization.

Question 2

MMPI-3 uses which scale construction approach compared to MMPI-2?

Accepted Answer

MMPI-3: construct-focused development; MMPI-2 clinical scales: empirical criterion keying

Answer

MMPI-3 uses construct-focused methods ensuring each scale measures a defined construct, vs MMPI-2 clinical scales developed through criterion keying.

Question 3

MMPI-3 administration time compared to MMPI-2?

Accepted Answer

MMPI-3: ~25-50 min; MMPI-2: ~60-90 min

Answer

MMPI-3's 335 items reduce administration to about 25-50 minutes vs 60-90 for the MMPI-2, more practical with time constraints.

Question 4

The status of MMPI-2 code type research when using MMPI-3?

Accepted Answer

Does not directly transfer because MMPI-3 uses restructured scales

Answer

MMPI-2 code type research doesn't directly apply to MMPI-3 because the scale systems are fundamentally different, requiring version-specific research.

Question 5

MMPI-3 normative sample improves diversity how?

Accepted Answer

Stratified to match current Census demographics: race, ethnicity, education, region

Answer

The MMPI-3 sample was carefully stratified to match current Census across race, ethnicity, education, and geography, addressing MMPI-2 criticisms.
