TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Does the MMPI PTSD-PK scale measure robustness? JO - Psychological reports A1 - Sinnett, E. Robert A1 - Holen, M. C. A1 - Heil, M. C. SP - 211 EP - 217 VL - 79 IS - 1 N2 - Research evaluating the diagnostic value of the MMPI PK scale for determining Posttraumatic Stress Disorder has been consistently positive. Various cut-off points have been suggested, depending on the population studied. The current study, involving a select group of police candidates from middle-sized midwestern towns, suggests that low PK scores may represent robustness. These subjects as a group made low use of health and mental health services and obtained very low PK scores (T = 41), although they made average scores on the clinical scales.
