Abstract

The purposes of the present study were to develop a subjective adjustment scale for adolescents from the viewpoint of person-environment fit, to examine the reliability and validity of the scale, and, using the scale, to investigate the relation between school life and subjective adjustment. Participants in Study 1 were 621 junior high school students, 786 senior high school students, and 393 university students, and, in Study 2, 375 junior high school students and 572 senior high school students. In Study 1, using factor analysis on the data from the initial set of 47 items in the subjective adjustment scale, 4 main factors were extracted: “sense of comfort,” “existence of task and purpose,” “feelings of acceptance and trust,” and “absence of feelings of inferiority.” The reliability and validity of the subjective adjustment scale were confirmed. In Study 2, in order to examine the relation between school life and subjective adjustment, multiple regression analyses were performed, with school life as the independent variable, and subjective adjustment, the dependent variable. The results for all schools in the study showed that although relations with friends were strongly related to subjective adjustment, relations with teachers and studies were not related to subjective adjustment.
