  • Title: The use of the Goldberg Indices with alcoholics: a cautionary note.
    Author: O'Leary MR, Chaney EF, Brown LS, Schuckit MA.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 1978 Oct; 34(4):988-90. PubMed ID: 711897.
    Abstract:
    Applied Goldberg's (1972) regression equation for the classification of MMPI profiles to the MMPI profiles of 173 alcoholic male veterans. All Ss also completed a detailed alcoholic life history questionnaire. It was hypothesized that there would be differences between the life history responses of those Ss classified as sociopathic and those classified as normal neurotic, or psychotic. However, analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups. This finding is discussed in terms of the relationship of life events to diagnosis and the validity of the use of Goldberg Indices with alcoholic patients.
