Abstract

Examined the utility of three MMPI family scales. Three MMPI family scales and three criterion family scales were administered to 110 undergraduates. Internal consistency coeffcients were calculated for each MMPI family scale. Relationships between the MMPI family scale and the criterion scales are examined by a correlational analysis. Findings suggest that the MMPI family scales are reliable and concurrently valid measures of an individual's perception of interpersonal family relationships. Procedures for scoring and interpreting the MMPI family scales are examined. The findings also indicate which MMPI family scale is the overall best scale.
