    BELL’S ADJUSTMENT INVENTORY

    By Hugh M Bell
    Pub Stanford University Press
    Stanford, California

    The adult form of the adjustment inventory provides separate measures of


    personal and social adjustment.

    a) Home Adjustment: Individuals Scoring high tends to be


    unsatisfactorily adjusted to their home surroundings. Low scores indicate
    satisfactory home adjustment.

    b) Health Adjustment: Individuals Scoring high tends to be unsatisfactorily


    health adjustment. Low scores indicate satisfactory health adjustment.

    c) Social Adjustment: Individuals Scoring high tends to be submissive


    and retiring in their social contacts. Low scores indicate extravert, happy
    social and loveable.

    d) Emotional Adjustment: Individuals Scoring high tends to be unstable


    emotionally. Low scores tend to be emotionally stable.

    e) Occupational Adjustment: Individuals Scoring high tends to be


    dissatisfied with their present occupation. Low scores indicate they are well
    pleased with their present job.

    Total score may be used to indicate the general adjustment status.
