“…The relatively low test-retest correlations found on the State Anxiety Scale are in keeping with the transitory nature of the construct being measured (Spielberger et al 1983). The use of the STAI to validate other measures of state and trait anxiety supports its construct validity (Corr and Gray 1996;Osman et al 1997;Sapp et al 1997).…”

Listening to classical and self-selected relaxing music after exposure to a stressor should result in significant reductions in anxiety, anger, and sympathetic nervous system arousal, and increased relaxation compared to those who sit in silence or listen to heavy metal music. Fifty-six college students, 15 males and 41 females, were exposed to different types of music genres after experiencing a stressful test. Several 4 x 2 mixed design analyses of variance were conducted to determine the effects of music and silence conditions (heavy metal, classical, or self-selected music and silence) and time (pre-post music) on emotional state and physiological arousal. Results indicate listening to self-select or classical music, after exposure to a stressor, significantly reduces negative emotional states and physiological arousal compared to listening to heavy metal music or sitting in silence.

“…The MMPI‐2 is a 567‐item psychopathology and personality assessment instrument. It has been extensively used as a valid and reliable tool to assess psychopathology with additional extensive research on the validity scales to detect response biases (Bagby et al, ; Gervais, Ben‐Porath, Wygant, & Green, ; Sapp, Farrell, Johnson, & Ionnaidis, ).…”

Objective: This study aimed to determine the incremental validity of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Second Edition (MMPI-2), relative to the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) in the detection of depressive symptoms in neurological patients. An additional aim was to determine whether over-reporting and under-reporting as measured by the MMPI-2 validity scales, predicted BDI-II scores. Method: The sample comprised 406 consecutive participants seen for neuropsychological assessment. The sample was divided into two subsamples for analysis, a heterogeneous neurosciences sample and a seizure disorders sample. Rates of elevated scores were compared and the prevalence of over-reporting and under-reporting by subsample was also examined. Results: A total of 31.8% participants were classified as depressed by both the BDI-II and the MMPI-2 Scale 2 and 38.2% participants were classified as not depressed by both tools. However, the BDI-II missed a total of 24.4% cases of elevated depressive symptoms detected by MMPI-2 Scale 2, whereas Scale 2 only missed 5.7% of depressed cases detected by the BDI-II. Depression rates did not vary significantly by subsample. Over-reporting and under-reporting rates were similar for both subsamples. Multiple linear regression showed MMPI-2 depression (Scale 2) and over-reporting of symptoms (scale Fb) predicted BDI-II scores in both subsamples. Under-reporting of symptoms (scales L) was found to be a significant predictor of BDI-II scores in the seizure disorders sample. Conclusions: If only the BDI-II is used to screen for depression, there is a risk of misclassification errors as BDI-II scores are influenced by over-reporting and under-reporting of symptoms.

Utilizing the PK scale of the MMPI-2 to detect posttraumatic stress disorder in college students

Abstract: This study investigated the utility of the PK scale of the MMPI-2 with college students. Results indicated that the PK scale, when combined with DSM IV criteria, does discriminate between college students who obtain a score of 65 or higher and those who score below 65.
