A factor analysis was used to determine the extent to which multiple domain scores offer a more detailed view of adaptive and maladaptive behavior than do two general scores defined as simple sums. The general indices of adaptive and maladaptive behavior accounted for an overwhelming majority of the multiple domain score variance. This held true even when the range of ability was restricted. Since multiple indices of adaptive behavior offer little specific variance and create statistical problems, I concluded that adaptive behavior should be measured using a single general score. The same conclusion was reached with regard to maladaptive behavior.
采用因素分析来确定与简单求和定义的两个综合分数相比，多个领域分数在多大程度上能提供更详细的适应性和适应不良行为视图。适应性和适应不良行为的综合指标在多个领域分数方差中占绝大多数。即使能力范围受到限制，情况依然如此。由于适应性行为的多个指标几乎没有提供特定方差并产生统计问题，我得出结论，适应性行为应使用单一综合分数来衡量。对于适应不良行为也得出了相同的结论。
