The relationship between self-monitored aggression and the MMPI-2 F, 4, 9 composite and anger content scale scores. 1994

S O'Laughlin, and T Schill

Department of Psychology, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale 62901-6502.

Undergraduates, 47 men and 79 women, took the MMPI-2 and self-monitored their aggressive acting out for one week. As expected, the MMPI composite score for F, 4, 9 and the anger content scale were correlated positively with monitored aggressive acting out, particularly for men. However, the magnitude of the correlations was slight, indicating it would be inappropriate to use them to make critical judgments regarding aggressive acting out with this population.
