Participants were 107 workers who had contacted mental health services because they perceived themselves as victims of mobbing. In line with previous research, the results showed that the MMPI-2 mean profile was characterized by a neurotic component as evidenced by elevations of Scales 1, 2, and 3 and a paranoid component as indicated by elevation of Scale 6."<br /><br />Scale 6 is the MMPI paranoia scale. My Scale 6 was elevated, as reported by Yu Ling Han. The study indicates that suspiciousness and hypervigilance (factors evaluated by Scale 6) are not inconsistent with actually being a victim of job harassment or mobbing. Being suspicious and hypervigilant will enable a harassment victim to be aware of subtle disturbances in the environment. Studies define mobbing as very subtle, and most people are not even aware that they are being mobbed until late in the game. A high scale 6 may simply mean that someone will tend to be aware that he is a victim of subtle aggression, not that he is imagining the aggression.My Daily Struggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785498459884222234noreply@blogger.com
