Abstract

Current adolescent norms for the MMPI are based on data obtained 25 to 45 years ago, from samples established in 1947 to 1957 and 1964 to 1965 (Marks & Briggs, 1967). Recently, MMPIs from 1,315 normal adolescent females and males, aged 13 through 17 years, were gathered from a three-state midwest area. There were significant differences between contemporary adolescent MMPI response patterns and those obtained from the earlier adolescent samples. This article presents new K-corrected normalized T-score conversion tables to encourage research that compares the relative efficacy of profiles calculated with and without K correction.
