Peer reviewedGynther, Malcolm D.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1978
Investigated the need for special Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) norms for Black adults. The difference between responses of Blacks and Whites to rarely endorsed items suggests that, for Blacks, this new scale may be a more accurate measure of correlates associated with endorsement of deviant items.

This study investigated objections to Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) items by black and white males and females classified as high or low trust by Rotter's Interpersonal Trust Scale. Low-trust subjects objected to more items than high-trust subjects. Race and sex did not influence number of items objected to. (Author)

Peer reviewedHovanitz, Christine A.; Gynther, Malcolm D. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1980
Assessed the relative predictive validity of obvious (O), neutral (N), and subtle (S) items of the MMPI MA scale for 86 males. Subtle-obvious ratings were compared to criteria in questionnaire, life-history, and objective tests. Correlations among the criteria were generally insignificant, suggesting that hypomania is not a homogeneous construct.…

This study examined similarities and differences between blacks' and whites' responses to rarely endorsed Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) items, as well as those items responded to most differently by the ethnic groups. Our subjects, 882 normal black middle-class adults from Alabama, Michigan and North Carolina, were compared to…

Peer reviewedGynther, Malcolm D.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1973
This study attempted to demonstrate behavioral correlates of two related Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory code types (4-9,9-4) with inpatients from state psychiatric facilities. The findings are discussed in terms of the discriptors available, the role of base rates, and similarity-dissimilarity of 4-9 profiles. A suggestion is offered…

Divided the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Pd scale into obvious (O), neutral (N), and subtle (S) subscales. Using college students results were: Pd-O scores were the most powerful predictor of criterion; Pd-S scores made a smaller but unique contribution; and Pd-N scores made no contribution not already in Pd-O criterion…
