  • Title: Social adjustment in more severely retarded, institutionalized individuals: the sum of adjusted behavior.
    Author: Balthazar EE, Phillips JL.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1976 Jan; 80(4):454-9. PubMed ID: 1247041.
    Abstract:
    A measure which is used to count kinds of social behavior in more severely mentally retarded residents was described in this study. The measure is an aggregate or sum, and it is referred to as the Sum of Adjusted Behavior. In this study, we determined measures of social adjustment which are useful for obtaining population parameters. Data concerning the relationship between the Sum of Adjusted Behavior and CA to MA, age at time of institutionalization, gender, medical diagnosis, medication, and social behavior were discussed. The relationships between adjustment and adaptive behavior were also defined on the basis of the findings.
