ADHD DISCUSSION Deiden/fied archival data were examined from 1,110 inpa1ents with DSMIVTR psychiatric diagnoses, available at the 1me of tes1ng, from a large forensic psychiatric facility in the western United States. Mean age = 41 years (SD = 11.4). Invalid protocols due to noncontentbased invalid responding, underrepor/ng, and overrepor/ng were removed using standardized procedures (n = 469 cases excluded). Independent samples ttests were examined to assess whether differences between groups with and without each respec1ve dysfunc1on were sta1s1cally significant. Hedges’ g effect size indices were examined to evaluate the magnitude of differences between mean scores. Analyses: 1. Internalizing Dysfunc/on Diagnoses : Yes (n = 320) vs. No (n = 321) 2. Thought Dysfunc/on Diagnoses: Yes (n = 572) vs. No (n = 69) 3. Externalizing Dysfunc/on Diagnoses : Yes (n = 469) vs. No (n = 172) Table 1.

Glassmire 3 INTRODUCTION Contemporary models of psychopathology—which encompass internalizing, externalizing, and more recently, thought dysfunc1on (psychosis) factors—have revealed highly correlated clusters of diagnoses/syndromes 1,2 . As psychopathology research evolves toward a new dimensional model of diagnosis, it is impera1ve that assessments are also able to reflect this organiza1on and dimensional nature 1 . The Minnesota Mul1phasic Personality Inventory—2 Restructured Form (MMPI2RF; BenPorath & Tellegen, 2008/2011), with its hierarchical and dimensional organiza1on of construct assessment, possesses these capabili1es 3 . Past research mapping these higher order dimensions onto the MMPI2RF has focused primarily on internalizing, externalizing, and thought dysfunc1on dimensions separately, or exclusively on specific scale sets (see Lee, Sellbom & Hopwood for a review, in press) 4 .

It was also supported by the California State University, Monterey Bay McNair Scholars Program and University Research Opportuni1es Center (UROC). Note. * = sta/s/cally significant ttests; p < .05. Small, (|0.20||0.49|) medium (|0.50||0.79|), and large (|0.80+|) Hedges’ g values are bolded. Hypothesized differences are underlined. Unlike past research integra1ng these topics, the current study examined all of the MMPI2RF substan1ve scales to determine if they would exhibit significant mean score differences across three analyses comparing individuals with or without (1) Internalizing Dysfunc1on, (2) Thought Dysfunc1on, (3) Externalizing Dysfunc1on diagnoses. Assignment to these categories was based on the most recent empirical literature linking unique diagnoses to respec1ve dimensions. Hypotheses: 1. Those with (1) internalizing dysfunc/on will have significant differences on anxiety / internalizing scales (EID, RCd, RC2, RC7, all internalizing & interpersonal scales, low AES & MEC, NEGEr, INTRr) compared to those with no internalizing diagnoses. 2. Those with (2) thought dysfunc/on will have significant differences on thought dysfunc1on scales (THD, RC6, RC8, RC9, ACT, PSYCr) compared to those with no thought dysfunc1on diagnoses. 3. Those with (3) externalizing dysfunc/on will have significant differences on externalizing scales (BXD, RC4, RC9, ACT, JCP, SUB, AGG, AGGRr, DISCr) compared to those with no externalizing dysfunc1on diagnoses.

(see Table 1, g 1 ). Hypothesis 2 was par1ally supported with mainly small prac1cally significant differences observed between groups with and without thought dysfunc1on disorders on psycho1cismrelated scales (see Table 1, g 2 ). Hypothesis 3 was mainly supported with small to moderate sta1s1cally and prac1cally significant differences observed between groups with and without externalizing disorder(s) on externalizingrelated scales (see Table 1, g 3 ). The present study extended the empirical literature demonstra1ng the ability of the MMPI2RF to differen1ate between forensically commiped groups of individuals diagnosed with internalizing, thought dysfunc1on, and/or externalizing dysfunc1ons. In line with exis1ng literature as well as the MMPI2RF Technical Manual², individuals with each respec1ve dysfunc1on tended to display significant paperns of differences on conceptually and empirically related scales throughout the assessment hierarchy. Interes1ngly, internalizing scales related to anxiety—such as the SP scales (IPP, SAV, SHY, DSF) and PSY5 Introversion scale (INTRr)—did not display significant differences between groups, as hypothesized (see Table 1, g 1 ). Also interes1ng, the only significant effects found on scales associated with mania and externalizing dysfunc1on (RC9, ACT) were for the internalizing comparison. Overall, results demonstrate the ability of the MMPI2RF to map onto this contemporary model of psychopathology, as well as provide support for many constructs currently linked to these higher order dimensions.
