N2  - Generalizability of a previously established MMPI-based classification system that was developed using a criminal population (Megargee & Bohn, 1979) was investigated using a sample of 151 patients in a forensic psychiatry unit. Comparison of Megargee and Bohn's (1977) prisoners and the forensic sample indicated significantly different proportions occurring for three of the ten groups with significantly higher proportion of the forensic sample occurring in the five more elevated profile types. Comparison of the three most common groups revealed a significant difference on the Beck Hopelessness Scale. These findings are taken to support the applicability of the Magargee system to a hospitalized population.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
