Brief Summary

The aim of the current project are is examine the incremental predictive utility of the MMPI-2-RF-EX validity scales in detecting simulated underreporting of suicide risk on the MMPI-2-RF-EX and other self-report measures of suicide risk in 150 military Veterans experiencing past-month death or suicidal ideation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • MMPI-2-RF-EX Suicidal/Death Ideation scale

    The MMPI-2-RF-EX Suicidal/Death Ideation scale is a self-report measure of current suicide risk contained within the instrument. T scores range from 45 to 100, with higher scores indicative of greater suicide risk.

    Baseline

  • Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS)

    The BSS is a 21-item measure of past-week suicide ideation and desire for death. Responses to items are scored on a 3-point Likert scale (range of 0- 2). Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater suicide risk.

    Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Suicide Cognitions Scale (SCS)

    Baseline

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Short Grit Scale

    Baseline

  • MMPI Posttest Inquiry (PTI)

  • PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) PTSD Checklist for DSM-5

Study Arms (2)

Standard MMPI

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will be instructed to complete the MMPI-2-RF-EX and other measures under standard conditions (e.g., to not simulate underreporting of suicide risk).

Diagnostic Test: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2- Restructured Form - Experimental

Simulation MMPI

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be instructed to conceal current suicide risk when completing the MMPI-2-RF-EX and other measures.

Diagnostic Test: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2- Restructured Form - Experimental

Interventions

The MMPI-2-RF-EX is a broadband, self-report measure of personality and psychopathology was developed for research purposes in order to develop the MMPI-3 (Ben-Porath \& Tellegen, 2020), which is comprised of a subset of MMPI-2-RF-EX items.
