title: Relationship among the self-direction, responsibility, and socialization domains of the Adaptive Behavior Scale.
abstract: The extent of the relationship among the Socialization, Self-Direction, and Responsibility domains of the Revised Adaptive Behavior Scale was investigated. Based upon the scores of 338 mentally retarded institutionalized male and female children and adults, high positive and significant correlations were obtained among these three domains. The relationship was explained in terms of a possible motivational link among the three domains.
