ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to identify classes based on the results of MMPI-2 and PAI in outpatients and to propose therapeutic interventions by verifying the influence of the variables on each group. Latent profiles analysis of MMPI-2 was conducted to examine types and characters of latent classes and investigate the relationship with PAI. Results showed three latent classes, “Potential underlying symptoms group”, “Neurotic symptoms by self-report group” and “Potential high-risk group”. According to the results that showed the influence of PAI variables, the higher the T score of ‘Aggression(AGG)’ scale, it was highly possible to be contained in the “Potential underlying symptoms group” than in the “Neurotic symptoms by self-report group”. Also, the higher the T score of ‘Suicide ideation(SUI)’ scale, it was highly possible to be contained in the “Potential high-risk group” than in the “Potential underlying symptoms group” and the “Neurotic symptoms by self-report group”. Finally, based on the results, the implications and future research directions were discussed.
