Provisional statistics are provided for MMPI-2 Dependency (Dy), Prejudice (Pr), Social Status (St), Control (Cn), and Low Back Pain (Lb) scales. The statistics were derived primarily from the 1957 MMPI normative sample of Hathaway and Briggs, but means also are given for the MMPI-2 normative group. Both men and women in the MMPI-2 group scored higher than the MMPI sample on St and Lb but lower on Dy, Pr, and Cn.
