A cohort of 153 persons released from a state school for mentally retarded persons was studied with regard to two outcome measures of community residential adjustment: (a) adaptive behavior as measured by the percentage of mastered skills that a subject performed regularly and independently and (b) subjects' satisfaction with aspects of their residential environments. Five environmental dimensions of six residential program types were examined, and significant differences among the program types on these environmental dimensions were reported. A multiple regression analysis was performed to explain the relationship between the measures of adaptive behavior and individual and environmental characteristics. Benefits of this study's measurement of community adjustment were discussed in terms of their potential use for future research and for use by planners and providers of services.
对从一所州立智障人士学校毕业的153人进行了研究，涉及社区居住适应的两项结果指标：(a) 以受试者定期独立完成的掌握技能百分比衡量的适应性行为，以及 (b) 受试者对其居住环境各方面的满意度。研究考察了六种居住项目类型的五个环境维度，并报告了这些项目类型在这些环境维度上的显著差异。进行了多元回归分析，以解释适应性行为指标与个体及环境特征之间的关系。从该研究对社区适应的测量在未来研究以及规划者和服务提供者的潜在用途方面，讨论了其益处。
