A general measure of adaptive behavior

S Arndt

    American Journal of Mental Deficiency
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that single general scores effectively capture adaptive and maladaptive behavior, making multiple domain scores unnecessary for accurate measurement. General scores explain most of the variance, simplifying behavioral assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • Assessing adaptive and maladaptive behavior is crucial in psychology.
    • Existing measures often use multiple domain scores or general scores.
    • The utility of multiple domain scores versus general scores requires clarification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if multiple domain scores provide a more detailed view of behavior than general scores.
    • To evaluate the variance explained by general indices of adaptive and maladaptive behavior.
    • To inform best practices in behavioral assessment measurement.

    Main Methods:

    • Factor analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between multiple domain scores and general scores.
    • The study examined the variance accounted for by general scores across different ability ranges.
    • Statistical analysis focused on the explanatory power of different scoring methods.

    Main Results:

    • General indices of adaptive and maladaptive behavior explained a significant majority of the variance.
    • This finding remained consistent even when the range of ability was restricted.
    • Multiple domain scores offered minimal unique variance and introduced statistical complexities.

    Conclusions:

    • A single general score is sufficient and recommended for measuring adaptive behavior.
    • Similarly, a single general score is adequate for measuring maladaptive behavior.
    • Simplifying measurement through general scores enhances statistical clarity and efficiency.
