Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical utility of the internalization and externalization higher-order scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent Restructured Form (MMPI-A-RF), compared with those scales of the Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL). Methods : 43 adolescents with internalizing disorders and 44 adolescents with externalizing disorders and their parents were administered the MMPI-A-RF and K-CBCL each. To verify the difference between the internalization and externalization scales of the MMPI-A-RF and K-CBCL for each group, independent-sample t test was performed. To compare the agreement between the MMPI-A-RF and K-CBCL, correlation analysis was also conducted. Lastly, to identify which scales significantly best predict each of the internalizing and externalizing disorder, logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results : Internalization scales of the MMPI-A-RF and K-CBCL were significantly higher in the internalizing disorder group, and the externalization scales were significantly higher in the externalizing disorder group. The positive correlation was significant only for internalization problems between the two evaluation measures in both groups (each r=0.360, p<0.05, r=0.572, p<0.05). In addition, the scales significantly predicted internalizing and externalizing disorders were the internalization and externalization scales of the MMPI-A-RF, followed by the externalization scale of the K-CBCL (R2=0.407, p<0.05). Conclusions : The internalization and externalization higher-order scales of the MMPI-A-RF were found to reliably reflect the characteristics of each disorder in adolescents and be useful evaluative scales to differentiate disorders. Moreover, if adolescents show externalization problems, additional information from the K-CBCL can be more useful to differentiate disorders.

연구목적 본 연구는 자기보고식 다면적 인성 검사 청소년용 재구성판(MMPI-A-RF)의 내재화 및 외현화 상위 척도의 임상적 유용성을 살펴보고자 부모 보고식 한국판 아동-청소년 행동평가 척도(K-CBCL)의 내재화 및 외현화 척도와 비교하였다. 방 법 내재화 장애 청소년 43명, 외현화 장애 청소년 44명과 그 부모를 대상으로 MMPI-A-RF와 K-CBCL을 실시하였다. 내재화 및 외현화 장애 집단별 MMPI-A-RF와 K-CBCL의 내재화 및 외현화 척도 간 차이를 검증하기 위해 독립표본 t 검증을 실시하였고 두 평가 도구 간 일치도를 비교하기 위하여 상관 분석을 실시하였다. 더불어 내재화 및 외현화 장애를 유의하게 예측하는 척도를 탐색하기 위하여 단계적 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 결 과 내재화 장애 집단에서 MMPI-A-RF와 K-CBCL의 내재화 척도 점수가 외현화 장애 집단보다 유의하게 높았고 외현화 장애 집단에서는 외현화 척도 점수가 내재화 장애 집단보다 유의하게 높았다. 상관 분석 결과, 두 집단 모두 MMPI-A-RF와 K-CBCL 간 내재화 척도에 대해서만 유의한 정적 상관 관계를 보였다(각각 r=0.360, p<0.05; r=0.572, p<0.05). 또한 회귀 분석 결과, 내재화 및 외현화 장애를 유의하게 예측하는 척도는 MMPI-A-RF의 내재화, 외현화, K-CBCL의 외현화 척도 순이었다(R2=0.407, p<0.05). 결 론 MMPI-A-RF의 내재화 및 외현화 상위 척도는 청소년 내재화 및 외현화 장애의 각 특징적인 증상들을 신뢰롭게 잘 반영하고 두 장애를 구분하는 데 유용한 평가 도구임을 밝혔다. 더불어 청소년이 외현화 문제를 보이는 경우, 부모가 평가한 K-CBCL의 외현화 척도로 추가적인 정보를 얻는 데 도움을 얻을 수 있겠다.
