본 연구는 기존의 MMPI 정신분열증 척도의 진단 변별력과 임상적 유용성을 우리의 사회문화적 측면에서 경험적으로 재검증하는 것이었다. 척도 구성 문항들 자체의 민감성과 유용성을 높이기 위해 국내의 준거집단과 규준집단들간 문항 반응 비율에 기초한 새로운 정신분열증 척도를 구성하였다. 60개 문항들로 구성된 수정된 정신분열증 척도(Modified Schizophrenia Scale . MSc)는 기존 Sc 척도에 비해 더 높은 분류정확율을 보였다. 이는 Msc척도가 국내의 정신분열증 집단과 정상인 집단을 보다 민감하게 잘 변별하는 문항들로 구성되었을 가능성을 시사한다. 실제의 임상적, 해석적 활용을 위해서는 Msc척도의 타당성과 유용성을 보여주는 후속연구들을 필요로 한다.
The purpose of this research was to empirically reexamine the diagnostic discrimination power and clinical applicability of the Sc scale of the MMPI in Korean culture. In order to improve sensitivity and practicallity of the items of the Sc scale, an attempt was made to construct a new scale on the bases of item response rate obtained from comparing criterion group with norm group. It was found that mean difference of raw score on the modified Sc scale named MSc scale which was composed of 60 items was statistically significant between normal and schizophrenia group, which should better results compared with that from the existing Sc scale. Discriminant analysis and cross validation study also proved that MSc scale is better than Sc scale in discriminating schizophrenia from normal group. These results suggest that MSc scale could be better adopted for the purpose of identifying schizophrenia group at least in the present korean culture. It is recommended that further empirical researches be done in order that the newly developed MSc scale ca be used safely in clinical settings.
