Assessment of social adjustment in chronic ambulatory schizophrenics.
Fifty-six chronic schizophrenic outpatients and their significant others were interviewed separately and given the Social Adjustment Scale II. Intraclass correlations revealed a statistically significant level of agreement between the patients' and the significant others' reports of social adjustment. The mean scores for different areas of social adjustment showed considerable variation, and there were interesting differences between the raters' and significant others' judgments of the social adjustment of the patient.
