Snyder University of Kentucky Edward C. Podany Detroit Memorial Hospital Rex B. Kline Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit The present study examined the differential predictive accuracy of seven Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory alcoholism scales and two drug abuse scales across both sex and race in a sample of 7 alcoholic inpatients. Results demonstrated considerable variance among these scales in their ability to predict alcohol and other drug use, expectancies, and consequences. The predictive accuracy within scales also varied across four sex-race subgroups. Although five of the nine scales predicted a variety of relevant external criteria for black male alcoholics, only three of these were predictive for black women. Only one scale retained its predictive utility for white male alcoholics; none related to external criteria above chance rate for white alcoholic women. Implications of these findings for clinical assessment and future research are discussed. Use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) in the assessment and treatment of alcoholism and other substance abuse has a long tradition of more than 3 years of research. Although the development of separate MMPI scales for detecting substance abuse comprises a prominent strategy in this area, recent investigations have generally been critical of MMPI alcoholism scales, particularly those developed prior to 96. Whereas early scales were derived to discriminate alcohol abusers from normal controls (Alcoholism Scale [AL], Hampton, 953; Alcoholism Scale [AM], Holmes, cited in Button, 956; Alcohol Scale [AH], Hoyt & Sedlacek, 958), more recent efforts have emphasized discriminating alcoholics from psychiatric, nonalcoholic subjects (Institutionalized Chronic Alcoholic Scale [ICAS], Atsaides, Neuringer, & Davis, 977; Alcoholism Scale [ALX], Linden, 969; MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale [MAC], MacAndrew, 965; Composite Alcoholism Key [CAK], Rosenberg, 97); additional scales have been constructed to discriminate drug abusing prison inmates from nonabusing Requests for reprints should be sent to Douglas K. Snyder, Department of Psychology, 5 Kastle Hall, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky prisoners (Drug Abuse Scale [DAS], Panton & Brisson, 97) and to discriminate heroin abusing prisoners from nonabusing prisoners (Heroin Addiction Scale [HE], Cavior, Kurtzberg, & Lipton, 967). Although some of these scales have been used extensively in clinical practice, they have received several methodological criticisms. These include reliance on self-identified substance abusers for scale derivation criterion samples and failure to adjust suggested cutoff scores in clinical situations where the base rate of alcoholism does not match the base rate in the samples used to derive the scales. In addition, MMPI alcoholism scales have obtained inconsistent evidence regarding their ability to discriminate between alcoholics and polydrug abusers. Recently, Zager and Megargee (98) emphasized the need for some "horse races" to evaluate the differential validity of MMPI substance abuse scales when applied to the same criterion sample. In their own study, the authors evaluated the convergent and discriminative validity of five MMPI alcoholism scales (AH, CAK, MAC, AL, and ICAS) and two drug abuse scales (HE and DAS) in a prison population partitioned into groups on the basis of race and type of substance used. Two scales, the AH and MAC, exhibited little discriminative capacity 5

Only two scales (ICAS and DAS) demonstrated some convergent validity in both racial groups. Finally, the two MMPI drug scales (HE and DAS) showed limited ability to differentiate alcoholics from other drug abusing samples. Although few investigations have empirically examined the differential validity of substance abuse scales, even fewer have studied the effects of race and sex bias on these scales' predictive accuracy. The moderator effects of race on the MMPI have become a topic of strong contention (cf. Gynther & Green, 98; Pritchard & Rosenblatt, 98). The issue of racial bias in MMPI substance abuse scales assumes particular interest because among those studies finding racial bias on the MMPI favoring lower scores for blacks, nearly all have involved alcoholics or other drug abusers (Patterson, Charles, Woodward, Roberts, & Penk, 98; Sutker, Archer, & Allain, 978; Zager & Megargee, 98). In a methodological review, Pritchard and Rosenblatt (98) argued that documenting differences among racial subgroups' respective means on MMPI scales is inadequate for establishing test racial bias. They noted that such comparisons are insensitive to true criterion differences that may exist among racial subgroups. Instead, the authors advocated evaluating racial bias by testing the accuracy of predictions of external criteria made within racial subgroups on the basis of the MMPI. In their own review of the extant literature, Pritchard and Rosenblatt concluded that "there is currently no evidence that the MMPI makes more predictive or interpretive errors for blacks than for whites" (p. 66). In a rejoinder, Gynther and Green (98) challenged the substance and conclusions of Pritchard and Rosenblatt's review regarding the absence of racial bias in the MMPI, but they joined in the recommendation for more "accuracy" studies of scales' differential predictiveness across racial subgroups. The present study examined the differential accuracy of seven MMPI alcoholism scales and two drug abuse scales in predicting a variety of drinking patterns, expectancies, and consequences within a sample of hospitalized alcoholics partitioned into four groups on the basis of race and sex. Self-report data from two multidimensional inventories of alcohol and other drug use served as prediction criteria and provided an empirical basis for constructing interpretive guidelines for the MMPI substance abuse scales. Subjects Method Residents of five -month, voluntary inpatient alcohol treatment centers were asked to complete the MMPI and two other self-report measures in confidence; 86 patients, comprising roughly two thirds of those approached, agreed to participate in the study. Of these, 7 subjects produced valid MMPI profiles (F [Frequency] T score < 99, F-minus-/L [Correction] raw score difference < 6 and 3 omissions) and completed all measures. The total sample was divided for analyses into four groups: black males (n = 69), white males (n = 43), black females (n = 5), and white females (n = 34). Demographic data for each of the four subgroups are presented in Table. Most patients had a chronic history of alcohol abuse and related physical and social consequences such as blackouts, withdrawal symptoms, job loss, and family disruption. Measures The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Hathaway & McKinley, 943) was administered to all subjects and was scored on the nine alcohol and drug abuse scales described earlier. In addition, two measures of drinking patterns, expectancies, and consequences were employed. The first was the Alcohol Use Inventory (AUI), a 47 multiple-alternative self-report questionnaire derived by factor analyses of individuals' descriptions of symptoms, benefits, behaviors, and styles of alcohol use (Wanberg, Horn, & Foster, 977). The AUI comprises 6 primary and 5 second-order factor scales and one broad principal-component factor. The primary scales assess various aspects of alcohol use such as patterns of drinking (e.g., binge vs. sustained drinking), perceived benefits or expectancies (e.g., mood alteration), and negative drinking consequences including both physiological and social effects. The second-order scales reflect more general drinking styles and comprise various combinations of the primary scales. Because of its nonspecificity and overlap with both primary and second-order scales, the global principal-component factor was omitted from this study. Coefficients of internal consistency for AUI scales range from.38 to.93 (M =.75); test-retest reliability estimates range from.54 to.95 (M =.8). The Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (AEQ; Brown, Goldman, Inn, & Anderson, 98) was also used. The AEQ is a 9-item true-false factor-analytically derived inventory that assesses six dimensions including expectancies that alcohol enhances sexual performance, increases aggression and feelings of personal power, reduces tension and anxiety, enhances social assertiveness and pleasure, and positively transforms all experiences. Because the expectancy scale assessing enhancement of aggression contains only two items and seemed potentially

All significant correlations of this scale with self-reported drinking behaviors and expectancies were in the unexpected (negative) direction. less reliable, it was omitted from this study; coefficients of internal consistency for the remaining five scales range from.77 to.95 (M =.86). Results and Discussion Group mean data for the four sex-race subgroups on MMPI substance abuse scales and demographic descriptors as well as Sex X Race analyses of variance (ANOVAS) on these measures are presented in Table. Significant main effects for sex were found on four of the nine MMPI scales; women scored significantly higher on AL and DAS, whereas male alcoholics scored higher on AH and MAC. Significant race effects occurred on two scales: Both white subgroups scored higher than their black counterparts on HE, and black subjects scored higher than white alcoholics on ALX. There were no significant Sex X Race interactions on any of the MMPI substance abuse scales. Although a small number of group differences occurred on demographic measures, these differences were judged not to influence and, in fact, did not correspond in any systematic manner with subsequent findings regarding differential predictiveness of the MMPI substance abuse scales across the four sex-race subgroups. Findings regarding the overall multivariate and bivariate relations of MMPI substance abuse scales to self-reported drinking behaviors, expectancies, and consequences are presented in Table. Four canonical correlation analyses using all nine MMPI scales as a predictor variable set and all five AEQ and five AUI second-order factor scales as a criterion variable set were conducted separately within each sex-race subgroup. For each subgroup, the overall percentage of criterion scale variance accounted for by all MMPI scales was determined using the Index of Redundancy (Stewart & Love, 968). Results indicate that a relatively large proportion of alcohol-use scale variance (39.5%) was explained by MMPI substance abuse scales for black men. Smaller though roughly equivalent proportions of explained criterion scale variance were obtained for white men (5.%) and black women (6.3%); however, for white alcoholic women, only 9% of alcohol-use criterion variance was explained by the MMPI substance abuse scales. Also indicated in Table is the number of significant correlations between each MMPI alcoholism and drug abuse scale and the AUI and AEQ scales at both the.5 and. levels of significance for each sex-race subgroup;
5 54 D. SNYDER, R. KLINE, AND E. PODANY the potential number of significant correlations for each MMPI scale ranged from to 6.' Differences among MMPI scales in their predictive utility are evident from these findings. Although five MMPI substance abuse scales had a substantial degree of convergent validity in predicting relevant external criteria within the black male subgroup (ALX, ICAS, HE, AL, and MAC), only one of these (AL) retained its predictiveness for white male subjects; three of these scales (ICAS, HE, and AL) predicted a substantial number of external correlates for black alcoholic women, although for each respective scale at a rate less than that for black males. Not one of the nine MMPI scales correlated with relevant external criteria above chance rate for white alcoholic women. The AH scale fared particularly poorly in this analysis; all of its significant correlations with AUI and AEQ measures across all sex-race subgroups were in the unexpected (negative) direction. Results confirm considerable variance among MMPI alcoholism and drug abuse scales in their differential predictive accuracy across sex and race. Combining results for eight of the nine substance abuse scales (excluding negative correlations for AH), there were 85 significant correlations between MMPI scales and independent measures of alcohol and other drug use for black men in contrast to 4 for black women, 3 for white men, and only for white women. The AL scale (Hampton, 953) was the clear winner of this horse race, obtaining significant correlations with a variety of relevant criteria for both of the male subgroups as well as for black women; the AL scale was the only MMPI scale to predict quantity of alcohol consumption for all four sex-race subgroups. However, the relative length of this scale (5 items) detracts from its use as a separate screening device for this purpose and suggests that its convergent validity with a variety of external criteria may result from a broad spectrum of psychopathology reflected in its item content. In contrast to the AL scale, the ICAS scale (Atsaides et al., 977) includes only eight items and outperformed all other scales (including AL) in predicting relevant external criteria for both male and female black alcoholics. Using suggested cutoff scores, the ICAS scale yielded comparable true positive rates across all four subgroups ranging from 84.% to 94.%; group mean comparisons revealed no significant effects for either sex, race, or an interaction of the two. As a brief screening device for alcohol abuse among black patients, the ICAS scale appears to be the measure of choice; however, current findings do not support its predictive validity with white patients. Although the HE scale (Cavior et al., 967) was designed specifically to discriminate heroin abusing prisoners from nonabusing prisoners, its relation to a variety of alcohol-use measures in this study is consistent with its failure to discriminate between alcoholics and other drug abusers reported by Zager and Megargee (98). As an index of other substance abuse, the HE scale was outperformed in the present study by the briefer DAS (Panton & Brisson, 97), which also demonstrated discriminant validity in its failure to correlate with external criteria specific to alcohol use. Consistent with previous findings (Zager & Megargee, 98) were the generally poor showings for the popular MAC scale (Mac- Andrew, 965) as well as the CAK (Rosenberg, 97) and AH (Hoyt & Sedlacek, 958) scales. Two alcoholism scales not included by Zager and Megargee Holmes's (cited in Button, 956) AM scale and Linden's (969) ALX scale also fared poorly, although the ALX scale demonstrated good convergent validity within the black male subgroup. Given the lack of distinct advantages for any of these scales and the relative strength of other alcoholism scales both in the Zager and Megargee study as well as the present investigation, continued use of the MAC, CAK, AH, AM, and ALX scales appears no longer justified. A possible limitation on the generalizability of these results is the fact that both the MMPI and various alcohol-use scales are all self-report measures and that the sample comprised a relatively homogeneous group of hospitalized, self-admitted alcoholics who In computing bivariate correlations, each MMPI substance abuse scale was correlated with the 6 AUI primary scales, the 5 AUI second-order scales, and the 5 AEQ scales.
6 COMPARISON OF MMPI SUBSTANCE ABUSE SCALES 55 consented to participate in the study. Thus, current findings may not apply to individuals having less severe drinking problems or to patients less inclined to report their alcohol use on self-report inventories. In addition, to the extent that different sex or race groups of problem drinkers vary in their response styles to self-report measures, these measures' relations to external criteria could be affected. Finally, common method (self-report) variance inherent in this study might have somewhat inflated the validity coefficients of the MMPI scales. However, the influence of common method variance would not have affected the differential validity of the MMPI scales across separate sex and race subgroups so apparent in this study. To the extent that MMPI substance abuse scales measure different aspects of alcoholor drug-use patterns, this would predict inconsistent findings for these scales regarding both convergent and discriminant validity when used in different types of substance abusing samples. For example, Korman (96) noted that the AL scale reflected rapid onset of drinking-related problems such as acute personality disorganization and preoccupation with drinking, whereas the AH scale measured a more chronic, stable drinking pattern characterized by higher alcohol intake and less evidence of acute personality pathology. Additional research needs to be conducted with both identified abusing and nonabusing populations to delineate both false negative and false positive rates for MMPI alcoholism and drug abuse scales across a variety of substance abuse criteria.
