Environmental Incongruence and Divergence in Ratings of Adaptation Among Elementary School Children

Consistent with transactional theories of personality, studies of teacher and parent ratings of child behavioral adaptation suggest marked divergence between classroom and home levels of adaptation. Differential levels of child adaptation have been found to be linked with perceived classroom and family environment. From a ecological perspective, behavioral adaptation would diverge between the school and the family to the extent that the adaptational demands of these setting are incongruent with one another. Further, greater environmental incongruence might be associated with higher levels of overall psychological distress.
