Influence of Overlapping and Nonoverlapping Items on the Theoretical Interrelationships of MMPI Scales

Wakefield, James A., Jr.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 6, 851-857, Dec 75

The MMPI scales were scored for items appearing only on one scale (nonoverlapping) and for items appearing on more than one scale (overlapping). Overlapping scales significantly corresponded with neuroticism, psychoticism and extraversion while nonoverlapping scales insignificantly corresponded with the same theoretical constructs.
