Abstract
Anglo and Hispanic Americans were compared on the MMPI-2 clinical, validity, and content scales. The MMPI-2 was administered to 400 male and female Anglo and Hispanic American university students. Hispanic subjects scored significantly higher than Anglos on 2 of the 3 validity and 4 of the 10 clinical scales, whereas Anglos were significantly higher than the Hispanics on only the K scale. Hispanics also scored significantly higher than Anglos on 13 of the 15 content scales. Although statistically significant, the absolute clinical and content T score differences were relatively small and these results do not appear to warrant either the invalidation of the use of the MMPI-2 with Hispanics or the development of separate Hispanic norms.
