“…Quinsey et al (1980), for example, found no differences between rapists and other offenders on the Overcontrolled Hostility score, nor did they find differences on the Repression-Sensitivity score. Similarly, Hartman (1967) found no differences on the Sexual Deviation score or on the Impulsivity, Amorality, and Hostility scores. Most of these derived scales, when subjected to more careful analyses, have been found to have poor measurement properties; for example, the items are poorly related to one another so they may not be measuring the same thing (Langevin et al, 1990b).…”

Research attempting to distinguish various types of sexual offenders in terms of their responses on the MMPI are reviewed. The results generally display inconsistency across studies, but two common features that emerge are heterogeneity of responses among each type of sexual offender and considerable overlap in response profiles between sexual offenders and other subjects. It is concluded that these results deny the value of using the MMPI to assist courts in the determination of the guilt or innocence of a person accused of committing a sexual offense.KEY WORDS: sexual offender assessment; MMPI; forensic psychology; sexual offender denial.

“…suggested that the development of specific MMPI profiles for identifying In an early study conducted by Hartman (1967), men diagnosed as sociopathic personalities with associated sexual deviance were compared with men diagnosed as sociopathic with associated antisocial reaction or alcoholism. The MMPI was administered to all subjects, and all profiles had elevated scale 4 scores (T>70).…”

The MMPI has been used extensively for the clinical assessment of deviancy among sexual offenders. In order to derive a diagnostic scale for the specific identification of male incest offenders, an item analysis, using MMPI data from offenders, compared MMPI data from a nonoffending control sample. The item analysis results were cross validated with MMPI data from a separate sample of incest offenders.Eleven MMPI items were found to be critical in discriminating male incest offenders from nonoffenders, and these items comprise the .!.£ experimental scale. On the basis of the .!.£ scale, male incest offenders evidence characterological disturbances in the form of pervasive feelings of psychological and social inadequacy. 2 TO THE OFFICE OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH:The members of the Committee approve the thesis of Mary S. Dolan presented February 27, 1985.Hug

“…Deiker found that all but one of the 17 scales differentiated the groups but that response bias was a major confounding influence. Hartman (1967) attempted to differentiate sexual deviates with and without sociopathy using the Sexual Deviation, Amorality, Impulsivity, and Hostility Scales, among others, but found no significant differences.…”
