  • Title: Dimensions of adaptive behavior of retarded and nonretarded public-school children.
    Author: Lambert NM, Nicoll RC.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1976 Sep; 81(2):135-46. PubMed ID: 970411.
    Abstract:
    The AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale, Public School Revision, was administered to 2,618 elementary-school children from 7 to 13 years of age. The sample of children included White, Black, and Spanish-surname groups from regular and special-education classes. Factor analyses of domain scores indicated four dimensions of adaptive behavior: Functional Autonomy, Interpersonal Adjustment, Social Responsibility, and Intrapersonal Adjustment. Comparison of factor structure across school classification and age groups revealed the same four dimensions for all groups. Implications for the assessment of adaptive behavior were discussed.
