This investigation examined differences in symptom patterns of two different trauma samples using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). MMPI-2s of 122 male combat veterans seeking outpatient treatment for combat-related PTSD were compared with those of 64 PTSD-diagnosed adults seeking outpatient treatment for the effects of child sexual abuse (CSA). We examined variables related to degree of health concerns, depression, somatization, anger and hostility, masculine-feminine traits, paranoid ideation, anxiety, difficulties thinking and concentrating, elevated mood, and social introversion, as well as test-taking attitude. MANOVAs revealed between-group differences on several variables. However, when analyses controlled for the effect of age, nearly all differences disappeared; the only remaining difference was in a scale measuring anger. Thus, it appears CSA survivors and combat veterans are much more similar than different in their clinical presentation on the MMPI-2. Conceptual issues in the assessment of PTSD are discussed.

这项调查使用明尼苏达州多相人格量表-2 (MMPI-2) 检查了两种不同创伤样本的症状模式差异。将122名寻求与战斗相关的PTSD进行门诊治疗的男性战斗退伍军人的MMPI-2s与64名经PTSD诊断为儿童性虐待 (CSA) 的门诊治疗的成年人进行了比较。我们研究了与健康问题程度,抑郁,躯体化,愤怒和敌意,男性女性特征,偏执观念,焦虑,思考和集中注意力的困难,情绪低落,社交内向以及应试态度有关的变量。MANOVAs揭示了几个变量的组间差异。但是,当分析控制了年龄的影响时,几乎所有差异都消失了。唯一剩下的差异是衡量愤怒的量表。因此,看来CSA幸存者和战斗退伍军人在MMPI-2上的临床表现要相似得多。讨论了PTSD评估中的概念问题。
