This study investigated the concurrent relations between measures of adaptive/maladaptive behavior and community adjustment in a sample of 239 adults with mild to severe degrees of mental retardation. Using canonical correlation procedures and multidimensional community adjustment measures, the investigators found significant relations between the measures of behavior and several community adjustment dimensions. The results provided evidence for the criterion-related validity of measures of adaptive/maladaptive behavior and suggested that such skills provide an important contribution to community adaptation and to program planning and decision making for individuals with mental retardation.
本研究调查了239名轻度至重度智力发育迟缓成年人样本中适应性/ maladaptive行为测量与社区适应之间的并发关系。使用典型相关程序和多维社区适应测量方法，研究人员发现行为测量与几个社区适应维度之间存在显著关系。结果为适应性/ maladaptive行为测量的标准相关效度提供了证据，并表明这些技能对社区适应以及智力发育迟缓个体的项目规划和决策做出了重要贡献。
