title: Wiggins Content Scales and the MMPI-2.
abstract: The omission of the Wiggins Content Scales occurred because of the number of items deleted as well as the addition of items to the MMPI-2. The purpose of this study is to compare scorings of the items on the Wiggins Scales of the MMPI and the items that remain on these scales on the MMPI-2. The scales of Religious Fundamentalism and Authority Conflict appear to be those most seriously affected by the item change on the MMPI-2. The scales Depression and Family Conflict maintained all of their items, and the remaining nine were not found to be statistically different when the two scorings were compared.
