The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Tellegen & Ben-Porath, 2008, 2009) is a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of psychopathology. In this study, we examined the ability of the MMPI-2-RF to assess psychopathology and to predict smoking cessation outcomes in a sample of 281 smokers seeking psychological treatment to stop smoking at the end of treatment and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. Results showed that T-scores < 65 on Disaffiliativeness (DSF) scale were associated with a higher likelihood of smoking at the end of treatment, and T-scores = 65 on Neurological Complaints (NUC) scale were associated with a higher likelihood of smoking at the 12-month follow-up, after controlling for the effect of age and initial levels of nicotine dependence. The results highlight the usefulness of the MMPI-2-RF in the field of smoking cessation treatment.2017http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6448910.1016/j.paid.2016.11.019http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/64489oai:zaguan.unizar.es:64489info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PSI2012-31196PERSONALITY AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES 106 (2017), 172-177by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
