| Abstract: | The MMPI was administered to 712 college freshmen and 114 seniors. The seniors also took the California F scale. A year later 312 of the freshmen retook the MMPI. The MMPI Pr scores piled up at the low end of the distribution. The Pr reliability was .81. Mean Pr decreased with advance in college. Mean Pr scores differed significantly for different college majors. Pr correlated significantly with the F scale; positively with Hs, D, Pd, Pt, Sc, and Ma; and negatively with K and Hy. Certain psychopathological factors are considered to be present in the authoritarian syndrome. 21 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
