  • Title: Associations between MMPI-3 scale scores and the DSM-5 personality disorders.
    Author: Brown TA, Sellbom M.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 2021 Dec; 77(12):2943-2964. PubMed ID: 34342003.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The current study examined associations between Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) scales and self-reported DSM-5 Section II personality disorder (PD) symptoms. A priori hypotheses were generated for which MMPI-3 scales would be most highly associated with each PD. METHODS: We used a large sample (n = 489) of university students, who completed the MMPI-3 and two established self-report measures of personality disorders. RESULTS: The results were generally consistent with theoretical expectations and previous research utilizing the MMPI-2-RF. Specifically, most hypothesized MMPI-3 scales exhibited meaningful associations with relevant PD variables, although there were some notable exceptions. The regression models revealed significant predictors for each PD which were generally consistent with expectations and previous research. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the MMPI-3 appears well situated to cover a range of DSM-5 Section II PD-related psychopathology, and three of the new MMPI-3 scales appear to have added utility for assessing personality pathology.
