A Measure of Personality Change through Adjustment Training

Abstract

Scores on the Emotional Factors Inventory administered at the beginning and at the close of 12 weeks of adjustment training were compared for 104 blind clients.

All diagnostic categories showed some tendency of the group to improve in adjustment.

Significant improvement was shown in the following areas: Feeling of Inadequacy, Attitudes re Blindness, Social Competency, and Sensitivity.

It seems reasonable to conclude that adjustment training, as it is organized in Pennsylvania, contributes somewhat toward better adjustment in all the areas measured by this inventory and that it causes significant improvement, measured in terms of the group, in the four areas just named.
