Reliability Generalization: Exploring Variation of Reliability Coefficients of MMPI Clinical Scales Scores.

Vacha-Haase, Tammi; Kogan, Lori R.; Tani, Crystal R.; Woodall, Renee A.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v61 n1 p45-59 Feb 2001

Used reliability generalization to explore the variance of scores on 10 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) clinical scales drawing on 1,972 articles in the literature on the MMPI. Results highlight the premise that scores, not tests, are reliable or unreliable, and they show that study characteristics do influence scores on the clinical scales of the MMPI. (SLD)
