Abstract

MMPI Content Scales help clarifying communications between testee and tester and they are construct-oriented scales which refine MMPI interpretation. The purpose of this study is twofold ; The one is to establish norms for Korean version of the Content Sclaes which consists of 15 scales and the other is to investigate feasability for clinical implementation basing on data gathering from college students who have visited our couseling center. New norms were generated for gender and education level based on MMPI standardization sample for the interpretation of MMPI Content Scales. Applying this new norms, it was also investigated whether the Content Scales provide any supplimentary information to Clinical Scales or it is an independently useful scale which describes personality characteristics of the normal group. Finally, the various methods of implementation in clinical settings and research, and contributions in the prediction of personality and psychopathology by MMPI Content Scales were discussed.
