Abstract: Twenty-six studies on the clinical applications of the Chinese version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) in China are reviewed. The results show that the basic scales are able to differentiate between normals and psychiatric patients, including schizophrenics, manics, depressives, and neurotics. Distinctive profiles were obtained for the different diagnostic groups, similar to the clinical patterns observed in the United States. The average T scores for Scales F, 2, and 8, which were hi… Show more

“…Additionally, comparison of factor means suggested that participants who completed the MCSDS in Chinese scored higher levels of the Denial factor than those who completed the measure in English. The strong norms of moderation (Cheung & Song, 1989) and stigma associated with distress (Chan & Parker, 2004) within Chinese culture may partially explain the higher levels of Denial for those who completed the MCSDS in Chinese. Completing the measure in Chinese may cue these norms more strongly than completing the measure in English.…”

“…Thus cross-cultural differences in how Hong Kong students respond to Western instruments even after translation are often observed. A case in point is the elevated response level on some MMPI scales noted by Cheung and Song (1989) and shown to reflect cultural differences rather than being indicative of an elevation in psychopathology. Another plausible explanation is that the Chinese and Korean studies reported in Pavot and Diener (1993) were both conducted in the early 1990s, so the situation may be considerably different in these student populations now.…”

“…For example, in a variety of cultures various diagnostic groups have shown expected elevations on the MMPI/MMPI-2 scales (Butcher, 1996;F. M. Cheung & Song, 1989;Strassberg, Tilley, Bristone, & Oei, 1992).…”
