THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-MONITORED AGGRESSION AND THE MMPI-2 F, 4, 9 COMPOSITE AND ANGER CONTENT SCALE SCORES

Undergraduates, 47 men and 79 women, took the MMPI-2 and self monitore d their aggressive acting out for one week. As expected, the MMPI comp osite score for F, 4, 9 and the anger content scale were correlated po sitively with monitored aggressive acting out, particularly for men. H owever, the magnitude of the correlations was slight, indicating it wo uld be inappropriate to use them to make critical judgments regarding aggressive acting out with this population.
