The Applicability Of The Megargee Classification System For The Mmpi-A, Joel Andrew Dillon
Psychology Theses & Dissertations
Megargee (1977) originally developed a classification system for MMPI profiles for male offenders, and eventually expanded this system to also accommodate the MMPI profiles of female offenders (Megargee, 1992). Recently Megargee expanded and modified this system for use with the MMPI-2 (Megargee, Carbonell, Bohn, and Sliger, 2001). The purpose of the current study was to examine the utility of Megargee's systems as applied to adolescents in correctional facilities based on MMPI-A results. The Megargee classification criteria were modified for the purposes of this study, generally based on quite limited modifications to accommodate the lower profile ratings typically found for adolescents …

During recent decades, sentencing patterns of offenders based on gender have been the topic of criminological and sociological research.

The current research adds to the existing …

Altruistic Fear, Karen A. Snedker
Sociology Faculty Books and Book Chapters
"Researchers have identified patterns related to altruistic fear, most notably variation by sex. Although both men and women express fear for others, the type and frequency of altruistic fear differ for men and women, as does the object of concern (e.g., spouses, children). Similarly, what one does in response to fear for others is also different for men and women. Studies trace these sex differences in altruistic fear to parallel gendered patterns in personal fear of crime, as well as to gendered social roles and deeply structured divisions of caretaking (Snedker, 2006). This research provided an organizational framework for the …
