MMPI scores for items on the Harris and Lingoes (1955, 1968) subscales HY2 (need for affection) and PA2 (naivete) were compared among pedophiles (n = 50), non-sexually deviant psychiatric patients (n = 25), and a general control group (n = 50). Results indicated that pedophiles did not demonstrate a "naive need for affection," but, rather, a cynical need for affection. Scores on the Pedophelia (PE) Scale (Toobert, Bartelme, & Jones, 1959) also were compared, and no significant differences were found between the pedophiles and either control group, although a difference was found between the scores of the psychiatric control group and those of the general sample. Selected items from scale 4 (Psychopathic Deviate) and scale 9 (Hypomania) also produced no significant differences among groups.
