A Cross-validation of MMPI-2 substance abuse scales

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We evaluated the efficacy of the Addiction Potential Scale (APS) and the Addiction Acknowledgment Scale (AAS), two new scales designed to assess substance abuse problems with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), in samples from settings different from those used in their development. Results replicate earlier findings that both scales discriminate between psychiatric and substance abuse samples and do so more effectively than other substance abuse scales designed for use with the MMPI and carried over to the MMPI-2. Results also suggest that APS may be more resistant than AAS to response distortion.
