“…The lower the score an individual received in Bell test, the more adaptive they were. Bell estimated the total validity of the questionnaire to be 0.94 and obtained 0.91, 0.81, 0.88, 0.91, and 0.85 for home adjustment, health adjustment, social adjustment, emotional adjustment, and occupational adjustment, respectively (21). The validity of the BAI questionnaire in Iran was confirmed in (22).…”

Background & Aim: Ostomy surgery is used to provide a means of collecting waste through a channel. However, ostomy can produce functional problems and major changes in adaptability and life satisfaction among the patients. This study attempts to investigate the relationship between adaptability and life satisfaction among ostomy patients. Methods & Materials: This study is descriptive-correlational. 100 ostomy patients referring to Iran Ostomy Association were selected and studied using continuous sampling method and questionnaires of demographic information, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and Bell Adjustment Inventory (BAI). Results: The mean ± standard deviation of life satisfaction scores and adaptability scores were 16.8±4.4 (of 35) and 53.1±23.7, respectively. A positive and significant correlations were observed between life satisfaction and adjustment (r=0.597, p<0.001), and also adjustment dimensions, including home (r=0.585, p<0.001), health (r=0.611, p<0.001), social (r= 0.460, p<0.001), emotional (r=0.538, p<0.001) and occupational adjustment (r=0.380, p<0.001). Conclusion: According to the results, there was a positive and significant relationship between life satisfaction and adaptability. Thus, therapeutic department members have to help improve life satisfaction among ostomy patients by facilitating adaptability.

“…Linear and curvilinear (U-shaped) relationships between SPERT and (a) a measure of social adjustment and (b) one of emotional adjustment, respectively, were similar to those of previous studies. Social adjustment and emotional adjustment were measured by two different subscales of the [Bell] Adjustment Inventory (Bell, 1962). Obtained differences between students with large SPERT-discrepancies and either high or low scores on Berger's Self-Acceptance Scale (Berger, 1952) supported other literature-an outcome which suggests that, for individuals with large self-ideal discrepancies, highly self-accepting individuals are better adjusted and less anxious than those with low self-acceptance.…”

This paper reports validity evidence from several studies for a nonverbal measure of self-esteem, the Sliding Person Test (SPERT). Two versions of SPERT, a wooden manipulative task and a paperpencil measure, were correlated .81. Convergent validity correlations were comparable to typical correlations among self-concept measures. Test-retest and alternate form reliabilities ranged from .57 to .95. Minimal evidence of convergent and discriminant validity was established, and correlations with IQ and social desirability measures were sufficiently low. Relationships between a measure of self-esteem and those of social adjustment and emotional adjustment supported the findings of other studies. The potential of SPERT for use by counselors in intervention programs and by classroom teachers was demonstrated.EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT 1979, 39 SELF-ESTEEM was first defined by William James (1890) as a ratio of one's &dquo;actualities&dquo; to one's &dquo;pretensions&dquo; (p. 191). Butler and Haigh (1954) operationalized this theoretical definition by a Q sort which was widely used by C. Rogers (C. Rogers and Dymond, 1954) and others as a measure of progress in psychotherapy. Since then, a vast amount of self-esteem research has been done with a variety of instruments, many of which are based on a self-ideal discrepancy definition of selfesteem. Almost all of these instruments consist of a set of verbal items from which a &dquo;global&dquo; self-esteem index is derived by simple summation of item scores. However, the results of a study by Shlien (1962) suggested that measurement of self-esteem by a nonverbal Gestalt-like response to a single abstract item is closer to an individual's unique perception of the self-ideal relationship than is measurement by a collection of concrete conventional items.

A multivariate discriminant analysis procedure was used to identify moderator variables in a multipredictable group validation (MPGV) model. Results from MPGV also were compared to those of the univariate simple algebraic and absolute difference techniques. Seventeen variables, determined for 418 undergraduate students (N = 209 in the experimental group; N -209 in the cross-validation group), were investigated as potential moderators of the relationship between the predictor and the criterion (grade point average). The three techniques revealed moderators different from each other. In addition, number and types of moderators varied according to the composition of the prediction groups in MPGV. Results are discussed with respect to problems with moderator variable techniques.
