Description
Summary:64 normal adult controls (53 men, 11 women; M age 45.2 yr.) in a study of an estuary-associated syndrome were administered the MMPI–2-180 and the Neuroticism scale from the NEO-Personality Inventory. Pearson product-moment correlations between MMPI–2 scales and the Neuroticism scale were similar to those previously reported using the full-length MMPI. Correlations between MMPI–2 scales, D, Pt, Sc, and Si, and NEO-PI Neuroticism (range .44 to .52) suggest that many psychiatric conditions are associated with psychological distress of the type individuals high in trait neuroticism are prone to experience.
