Social Introversion

An attempt was made to test the hypothesis that Exner's 1986 Isolation Index and the Social Introversion scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory tap closely related areas of personality functioning. 50 criminal defendants referred for psychiatric evaluation were routinely administered the Rorschach and MMPI as a standard part of the assessment process. Although analysis showed no significant relationship between Isolation Index and Social Introversion scores, the results do not necessarily invalidate the Isolation Index, but do indicate that it taps traits different from those measured by the Social Introversion scale. Replication on a different population is recommended.

Personality differences of 71 residents in a therapeutic community drug abuse program were examined with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Successfully treated males scored significantly (p<.05) higher on scales of Hypochondriasis (Hs), Hysteria (Hy), and Masculinity-Femininity (Mf). Successfully treated females obtained a significantly (p<.05) higher score on the Social Introversion (Si) scale. Unsuccessfully treated females scored significantly (p<.05) higher than the successfully treated females on the Masculinity-Femininity (Mf) scales. Of the two-point code types, all of the 49-94 code types were unsuccessful; the largest number of successfully treated drug abusers for any one code type was in the 48-84 code type.

The Relationship

SummaryThe relationship between growth hormone (GH) response to clonidine and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was assessed in 20 major depressive inpatients. GH response to clonidine was negatively correlated with the depression, the psychasthenia as well as the social introversion MMPI scale scores, and positively correlated with the hypomania scale scores. In contrast, the Carroll depression scale did not exhibit any relationship with either GH response to clonidine or MMPI depression scale. These findings support the role of the clonidine test and several MMPI scales as trait markers for depressive illness.

The hypothesized relationship between Rorschach H responses and social introversion-extraversion was investigated using Rorschach and MMPI protocols of 100 adult psychiatric patients. No significant relationship was found between H responses and Si scores, thus failing to support the hypothesis that number of H responses is related to scores on the social introversion-extraversion dimension. A small but significant correlation of .37 between H and total number of responses suggests the need for considering total responsivity when utilizing Rorschach scoring categories.

BACKGROUND: Masculinity behaviour is not a problematic sexual orientation disorder to find. Some behaviour could complicate the prevention and management, such as: rarely seeking help from a psychiatrist unless facing law problem or surrounding social taboo. The recent number of prevalence represents only the tip of the iceberg. CASE REPORT: We presented a case of a 38-year-old man taken by a police officer in the Department of Psychiatry, Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital for a Psychiatric Evaluation after allegedly killing his male partner. Psychiatric evaluation and MMPI-2 examinations were conducted to disclose and analyse his life dynamics and reality. CONCLUSION: The prior examination directed us to conduct an examination using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). We found increased from Clinical Scale 5 and 44 positive answers from 66 questions. This patient is egosyntony that make it is very complicated to be treated.

In recent years, several studies have addressed the issue of positive self-presentation bias in assessing parents involved in postdivorce child custody litigations. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is widely used in forensic assessments and is able to evaluate positive self-presentation through its Superlative Self-Presentation S scale. We investigated the existence of a gender effect on positive self-presentation bias in an Italian sample of parents involved in court evaluation. Participants were 391 divorced parents who completed the full 567-item Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 during child custody evaluations ordered by several Italian courts between 2006 and 2010. Our analysis considered the S scale along with the basic clinical scales. North-American studies had shown no gender differences in child custody litigations. Differently, our results showed a significantly higher tendency toward “faking-good” profiles on the MMPI-2 among Italian women as compared to men and as compared to the normative Italian female population. Cultural and social factors could account for these differences.
