Abstract

We designed this study to identify empirical correlates on the MMPI-2 (Butcher et al., 2001) restructured clinical (RC) scales in a college counseling setting with a sample of 228 men and 522 women from a university-based psychological clinic. Participants were administered the MMPI-2 at intake and were rated by their therapists on a variety of variables including a 192-item Client Description Form. The findings indicate that the RC scales were generally most strongly correlated with conceptually relevant criteria and generally uncorrelated with conceptually nonrelevant criteria, which replicated findings of convergent and discriminant validity from previous studies. Follow-up analyses indicate that the RC scales have improved discriminant validity in comparison to the clinical scales and stronger convergent validity than a set of alternative MMPI-2 measures.
