Relationship between dimensions of adaptive behavior and sheltered workshop productivity.

T Cunningham, D Presnall

    American Journal of Mental Deficiency
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Adaptive behavior is multidimensional, with personal independence and social maladaptation significantly predicting workshop productivity. Higher personal independence and lower social maladaptation correlate with increased earnings for clients.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Vocational Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Adaptive behavior is crucial for independent functioning.
    • The AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale assesses various adaptive domains.
    • Understanding factors influencing vocational success in sheltered workshops is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the underlying dimensions of adaptive behavior using factor analysis.
    • To determine the predictive relationship between adaptive behavior dimensions and workshop productivity.
    • To examine the impact of specific adaptive behaviors on client earnings.

    Main Methods:

    • Factor analysis was applied to the 24 domains of the AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale.
    • Seven adaptive behavior dimensions were identified.
    • Stepwise regression analysis was used to predict workshop productivity (average hourly salary).

    Main Results:

    • Personal Independence, Social Maladaptation, and Personal Maladaptation emerged as key dimensions.
    • Personal Independence and Social Maladaptation significantly predicted 25% of the variance in salary.
    • A multiple correlation coefficient of .50 was observed between these factors and productivity.

    Conclusions:

    • Adaptive behavior is a multidimensional construct.
    • Personal independence and social maladaptation are significant predictors of vocational productivity in sheltered workshops.
    • These findings have implications for targeted interventions to enhance client outcomes.
