Download or read book MMPI 2 Symptom Reports and Acculturation of White and Mexican Americans in Psychiatric College and Community Settings written by Wendell James Callahan and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-cultural studies of the original MMPI have indicated that Hispanics may obtain elevated profiles in comparison to Whites, especially when clinical samples are compared. With the MMPI-2, there persists a controversy over Hispanic-White profile differences and the degree to which Hispanic acculturation influences MMFI-2 scores. This study compared White- and Mexican-Americans from outpatient psychiatric, college, and community samples on the MMPI-2. Mexican-American subjects were also administered the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican-Americans (ARSMA). Psychiatric patients (diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder) also completed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). A significant relationship between Mexican-Americans' ARSMA scores and MMPI-2 scale scores was found only in the psychiatric sample, with less acculturated patients tending to score higher on the MMPI-2 No overall ethnic differences were observed in the psychiatric patients' profiles. However, statistically significant and clinically meaningful (e.g., greater than 5 T-score points) ethnic differences were found, with White patients (White men in particular) scoring higher on the Psychasthenia, Schizophrenia, and Social Introversion Scales. Comparison of the combined college and community samples found both ethnic groups scored well within normal limits and indicated statistically significant overall profile differences between Mexican-Americans and Whites. Univariate analyses of the MMPI-2 Validity and Clinical scales revealed that the apparent profile differences were attributable to the tendency of Mexican-American women to score significantly higher on the Lie scale than other groups. No other clinically meaningful ethnic differences were observed. In summary, MMPI-2 comparisons of Mexican-Americans and Whites from college and community samples of similar ages and educational backgrounds indicated small mean differences which were isolated on specific scales, and were not always clinically meaningful. Although Mexican-American acculturation was found to be a significant moderator of Mexican-American patients' MMP-2 performance, White patients scored higher on the MMPI-2. However, considering the small number of patients included in this study and the inclusion of only schizophrenic spectrum patients, this finding is considered tentative and not generalizable to other diagnostic groups.

Download or read book Assessing Hispanic Clients Using the MMPI 2 and MMPI A written by James Neal Butcher and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2007 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Persons of Hispanic origin are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. Practitioners involved in personality assessment will undoubtedly work with Hispanic clients who may be grappling with low English proficiency and other challenges of acculturation to U.S. society. Written by frontline experts in the use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Assessing Hispanic Clients Using the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A discusses the utility of psychological tests based on U.S. norms in making clinical decisions for clients from different cultural backgrounds. The MMPI instruments are the most extensively researched and widely used personality instruments with Spanish-speaking clients. The authors provide readers a critical sociocultural context in the use of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A in the clinical assessment of Hispanic clients in the United States and abroad. Psychologists and other practitioners are offered a practical guide for clinical interpretation of test results, with advice on addressing biases, challenges to protocol validity, and other potential barriers to the culturally appropriate and ethical use and interpretation of the tests. Butcher, Cabiya, Lucio, and Garrido provide a comprehensive review of the research literature, past and contemporary, on the use of the MMPIs with Spanish-speaking populations in the United States and internationally. The authors describe the development and validation of Spanish-language versions of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A, offering scenarios from Mexico, Cuba, and other Spanish-speaking countries. A set of appendixes includes T score conversion tables for the Mexican MMPI versions and a listing of Spanish language translations"--Jacket.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to stimulate the awareness and provide the tools needed to develop cultural competence. Using the same frame of reference for each group, the author provides detailed descriptions of the world view shared by members of the group; their language, sense of identity, values and beliefs; and their perceptions about psychological disturbances, mental health services, and acceptable styles of service delivery. Throughout his analysis, he is careful to point out the differences within groups as well as those between groups. Having described the four major cultural groups, Dana goes on to discuss assessment issues, including the use of moderator variables to identify cultural orientation - which must be done before any testing or intervention is attempted.
