필로폰 남용 환자와 알코올 남용 환자의 MMPI 비교

Abstract

This study was performed to identify personality trait of patients with methamphetamine and alcohol abuse by analyzing MMPI profiles. 93 methamphetamine abuse patients, 59 alcohol abuse patients and 52 healthy subjects completed MMPI.Each MMPI profile in three groups was analyzed by F-test and discriminant function analysis. Alcohol abuse patients showed higher scores in F, Sc(8), and Si(0) profiles of MMPI than the patients with methamphetamine abuse. 3 variables(F, Si, Pd) were discriminated in these two groups. Methamphetamine abuse patients showed higher scores in F, K, Hs(1), Hy(3), Pd(4), Pa(6), Sc(8), and Ma(9) profiles of MMPI than the normal controls. 5 variables(Pa, Pd, Si, K, L) were well discriminated in these two groups. The alcohol abuse patients showed higher scores in F, Hs(1), D(2), Hy(3), Pd(4), Mf(5), Pa(6), Pt(7), Sc(8), and Ma(9) profiles of MMPI than the normal controls, but lower scores in K subscale. 3 variables(F, Pd, Pa) were well discriminated in these two groups. Specially, these results indicated that alcohol abuse patients had more psychotic symptoms than methamphetamine abuse patients. These results may suggest that addicted individuals have personality traits to be drug addicts, but it was unclear that these results were ue to predisposing personality traits or results of drug abuse.
