Finding Two Dimensions in MMPI-2 Depression.
Chang, Chih-Hung
Structural Equation Modeling, v3 n1 p41-49 1996
The underlying structure of the Depression scale of the revised Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) was studied using dichotomous Rasch model and factor analysis with the normative sample of 2,600 subjects. Results reveal two distinct subscales (mental depression and physical depression) in place of a homogenous set of items. (SLD)
