To evaluate crosscultural and diagnostic validity, the Italian version of the MCMI-III was administered to 789 Italian psychiatric patients. Eleven diagnostic validity statistics (DVSs) were analyzed: Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative Likelihood Ratios, Overall Correct Classification, Positive and Negative Predictive Power, Incremental Positive and Negative Predictive Power, Cohen's Kappa, and Cohen's d. DVSs were compared to American MCMI-III DVSs (Millon, 1994; Millon, Davis, & Millon, 1997). Large differences were observed between samples and should be taken into account when using the MCMI-III for clinical decision-making. The promising DVSs from Millon's 1997 sample were less satisfactory in the 1994 sample, and were not replicated in our Italian sample. According to Hsu (2002), most of the incongruence might be explained by variations in data collection methodology. From the present research, it appears that the MCMI-III might best be used as a screener for clinical traits and symptoms |
