| 7 | used to detect people who are trying to look a certain way or who are defensive or careless when taking the test | 2 sets |
| 8 | subscales of the mmpi-2 used to identify various problematic behaviors and personality styles. | 2 sets |
| 9 | these are designed to assess test-taking attitudes and to determine if the results of a test for a particular examinee are valid. a high score on the l scale indicates an attempt to present oneself in a favorable light; a high score on the f scale suggests response carelessness; a high score on the k scale indicates clinical defensiveness or an attempt to "fake good." an examinee's score on the k scale is used to correct scores on several clinical scales. | 2 sets |

| 21 | >clinical scales should referred to by their number, not by their names >when the mmpi was initially derived, it was intended to replace psychiatric interviewing [failed b/c there was too much overlap in these disorders to be able to look at one scale and tell what diagnosis someone has] >also there is overlap in items between scales --a particular item may appear in more than one scale if it discriminated between the normative sample and more than one clinical group | 1 set |
| 22 | developed by rational analysis of the items (not criterion-keying) >experts grouped together items that seemed to measure the same construct, which were refined by item-total correlations to inc. homogeneity | 1 set |
| 23 | some measure the same constructs as the clinical scales (depression) but other scales are unique (type a personality) | 1 set |
| 24 | >too many to cover >two examples >factor analysis of clinical scales identified 2 factors that are variously labeled and interpreted --welsh constructed his anxiety (a) and repression (r) to measure these | 1 set |
| 25 | used to measure test-taking attitudes; can identify clients who fake good or bad or respond randomly | 1 set |
| 26 | hypochondriac, depression, hysteria, psychopathic deviate (antisocial behavior, rebellion toward authority) | 1 set |
| 27 | assesses the client test-taking attitude --lie,defensiveness, infrequency | 1 set |
| 28 | minnesota multi-phasic personality index - validity and clinical scales | 1 set |
| 29 | a profile not a score. can suggest diagnoses but also show problematic behavior/ personality style. 1. hypochondria 2.depression 3.hysteria 4.psychopathic 5.masculinity/ femininity 6.paranoia 7. psychasthenia 8. schizophrenia 9. hypo-mania 10.social introversion | 1 set |
| 30 | l (lie): high score = attempt to "fake good," defensiveness, denial. low score = frankness, exaggeration and negative characteristics. f (infrequency): high score = exaggeration of problems, to liberate malingering. low score = absence of unusual behavior, social conformity. k (correction): high score = attempt to "fake good," defensiveness, lack of insight. low score: attempt to "fake bad," excessive self-criticism. fb (back-f): symptom exaggeration. all items are in the latter part. fp (psychopathology infrequency): high score = endorses extremely bizarre content. vrin: (variable response): high score = inconsistent responding to similar items. trin : (true response inconsistency): high score = gives "true" or "false" responses indiscriminately. | 1 set |

| 45 | such validity scales were developed to identify those test-takers responding in an unusual manner, or deliberately attempting to manipulate test results | 1 set |
| 46 | designed to measure ten behavioral domains ranging from depression to schizophrenia; the different domains are statistically analyzed, then plotted on a graph to yield personality profile there are three medically relevant scales: hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria | 1 set |
| 47 | hypochondriasis depression conversion hysteria - patients using physical or mental symptoms for unconsciously avoiding difficult conflicts and responsibilities psychopathic deviate - flagrant disregard for social customs, lack of emotion, regret, etc.. masculinity-femininity paranoia psychasthenia - obsessions, compulsions, abnormal fears, and guilt and indecisiveness schizophrenia hypomania social introversion | 1 set |
| 48 | mmpi-2 validity scales: the mmpi's validity scales are designed to assess test taking attitudes and to determine if the results of a test for a particular examinee are valid. a high score on the l scale indicated an attempt to present oneself in a favorable light; a high score on the f scale suggests response carelessness; a high score on the k scale indicates clinical defensiveness or an attempt to "fake good." an examinee's score on the k scale is used to correct scores on several clinical scales. | 1 set |

| 50 | used to detect people who are trying to look a certain way or who are defensive or careless when taking the test..mmpi-2 clinical scales | 1 set |
| 51 | -cannot say (?) -vrin -trin -f -fb -fp -fbs -l -k -s | 1 set |
| 52 | • ? (cannot say) scale • l (lie) scale - fake good scale. patients who fake good will have an elevated score. • f (infrequency) scale- • k (defensiveness) scale- look at the profile of lfk scale (if they are all very high then that means the patient did it to please you) • fb (back-page infrequency scale) - 2nd half of the 567 items • vrp (variable responsive inconsistency) scale • tri (true response inconsistency) scale | 1 set |
| 53 | • 10 clinical scales • results are interpreted through an analysis of the resulting profile of the clinical scale scores. • code types - combination of two scales being 5 points away from one another • content scales enable clinician to move beyond diagnostic labels and towards a more dynamic level of interpretation • supplementary scales. | 1 set |
| 54 | 1) true response inconsistency (trin): questions asked two ways to see consistency; 2) vrin: to identify indiscriminate response patterns, items pairs worded opposite or similar; 3) back page infrequency (fb) scale- are people answering questions randomly, items rarely endorsed by people being diligent, diligence wanes with test and by "back pages" may be inconsistent answers | 1 set |
