“…Stancak et al (1983) observed high D, Pd, Mf, Pa, Sc, and Pt scores for female suicide attempters and high D, Pd, and Pa scores for male suicide attempters. Where prisoners are concerned, Panton (1962) noted that suicide attempters scored higher on the F, Pd, Pa, Pt, and Sc scales.…”

Results from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) were compared for three groups of male inmates in federal penitentiaries: 47 suicide completers, 43 suicide attempters and, 123 non-suicidal controls. Analyses show that the groups differed on all 10 clinical scales and on at least 8 after Bonferroni correction. Attempters obtained the highest scores on 4 of 8 scales; they also posted the highest scores on 3 others, but differences were significant only against non-suicidal controls. Completers posted the highest score on only one scale (Mf), but the difference was significant only against non-suicidal controls. All told, completers proved more similar to non-suicidal controls than to attempters. Regarding profiles, completers are more strongly correlated with non-suicidal controls (r=0.95) than with attempters (r=0.86); non-suicidal controls are less strongly correlated with attempters (r=0.88). The fact that attempters seem more pathological than the others can mislead clinicians screening for suicide risk.

“…As for attempters, their results were highest versus those of the non-suicidal controls on the F, Pa, Pt, and Sc scales. Panton (1962) observed a similar pattern for state prisoners, but with the addition of the Pd scale.…”

“…The self-mutilators were more phobic, obsessional, and preoccupied with bodily complaints than the nonmutilators, but did not differ in IQ. Panton (1962) compared the MMPI scores of male self-mutilating prisoners with nonmutilating prisoners. The self-mutilators appeared to be more hostile, to have more inner turmoil, and to be more maladjusted.…”

“…In subsequent research, Panton reported Ap,r differentiated inmates who broke rules (1962b) and required disciplinary segregation (1973). However, other investigators have either failed to find significant associations with various criteria of adjustment (Edwards, 1963; Jaman, 1969; Jones, Beidleman, & Fowler, 1981; Stump & Gilbert, 1972; Sutker & Moan, 1973) or reported excessively high false positive rates (Pierce, 1972b).…”

The present study investigated the degree to which eight Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scales specifically derived to assess correctional criteria related to six criteria of subsequent adjustment in prison. In addition, the interrelations among the eight scales were examined, and the scales were tested for racial bias. The eight scales used were Panton's Adjustment to Prison, revised, Religious Identification, Homosexuality, Habitual Criminalism, and Parole Violation; Beall and Panton's Escape; Clark's Recidivism; and Wattron's Prison Maladjustment. Subjects were 1,214 inmates at a federal correctional institution who were admitted over a 2-year period. Although some statistically significant correlations with the criteria were obtained, their magnitude was quite low, indicating the scales had little practical usefulness. Comparisons of black and white subsamples did not indicate that any of the scales are notably more or less valid for one racial group. 874This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly.
