Description
Summary:This article describes a nonexperimental study that seeks to determine the extent to which nine psychometrically sound measures of problems with social functioning account for seven different reliable and valid measures of problems with personal functioning. This study is based on a single predictive or explanatory model in which predictor variables are entered and tested in the same order through the use of hierarchical regression. The strong psychometric characteristics of the measures used make it possible to examine comprehensive predictive models, and this provides insight into the ways that the social environment affects personal adjustment.
