General Problem:
On social adaptive behaviour.
Specific Problem:
To determine the level of social maturity of the subject by using Vineland Social Maturity Scale
(VSMS).
Basic Concept:
Social Skills:
A social skill is any competence facilitating interaction and communication with others where social
rules and relations are created, communicated, and changed in verbal and nonverbal ways. The
process of learning these skills is called socialisation.
Adaptive Behaviour:
Adaptive behaviour is behaviour that enables a person to cope in their environment with greatest
success and least conflict with others. This is a term used in the areas of psychology and special
education.
It includes real-life skills such as grooming, getting dressed, avoiding danger, safe food handling,
following school rules, managing money, cleaning, and making friends. Adaptive behaviour also
includes the ability to work, practice social skills, and take personal responsibility.
Social Maturity:
Social Maturity is the process of developing appropriate attitudes for personal, interpersonal, and
social adequacies of an individual, which are essential for functioning effectively in the Society.
It includes such behavioural forms as group compatibility, kindness and sympathy, fair play
emotional adjustability, courtesy and politeness,dependability, self-confidence, co-operation,
leadership and cheerfulness.
Relationship between social quotient(SQ)and intelligence quotient(IQ):
Intelligence quotient(IQ) and social quotient(SQ) are comparable in predicting intelligence status.
The latter is assessed whenever IQ testing is not possible.
IQ and SQ were positively correlated (P = 0.01). Intelligence quotient(IQ): This is the measure of your
comprehensive ability to solve math problems retain information and recall subject matters. Social
quotient(SQ): This is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a
long period of time.
Objective of the Study:
To measure social maturation in eight social areas: Self-help General (SHG), Self-help Eating (SHE),
Self- help Dressing (SHD), Self-direction (SD), Occupation (OCC), Communication (COM), Locomotion
(LOM), and Socialisation (SOC).

  1. Pencil

2.Data Sheet

  1. Eraser
  2. VSMS Questionnaire Procedure:
    1. First of all the conditions of the surrounding in which the test is to be taken will be checked. There will be no sort of noise or disturbance.
  3. The subject will made comfortable for taking the test.
  4. The material for the test will be arranged.

Depending on whether or not her child accomplished these tasks at that particular age. Use Record Sheet for noting the child's responses. Mark the item pass (✓) if the child is able to perform correct and fail (×) if otherwise. Half credits may be given If it can be presumed that the child could have passed the item if the opportunity was present. These half credits receive full credit if they lie between two passed items. Description of the test: The Vineland Social Maturity scale is the psychometric assessment instrument designed to help in the assessment of social competence. It was developed by the American psychologist Edgar Arnold Doll. It measures the differential social capacities of an individual. Vineland Social Maturity Scale is used to access child. As this scale is best adapted for scientific study of social maturity of children. It provides an estimate of Social Age (SA) and Social Quotient (SQ), and shows high correlation (0.80) with intelligence. It is designed to measure social maturation in eight social areas:
  • Self—help general (SHG),
  • Self—help eating (SHE),
  • Self help dressing (SHD),
  • Self direction (SD),
  • Occupation (0CC),
  • Communication (COM),
  • Locomotion (LOM), and
  • Socialisation (SOC). The scale consists of 89 test items grouped into year levels. For details of the complete VSMS one should refer to VSMS manual. VSMS can be used for the age group of 0—15 years. The examiner should collect information on VSMS test items regarding child's abilities through direct observation and supplement it by interviewing the mother. Data Collection: The subject and his mother was asked to sit comfortably. Then the VSMS Record sheet was presented. Every questions were asked and the answers were marked. The passed scores were added up. Social age was calculated from Appendix II of VSMS manual. Social Quotient (SQ) was computed by dividing SA by CA and multiplying by 100. Assessed maturity levels both in terms of SA

SOC

8y Above Age Appropriate Conclusion: My subject have achieved age-appropriate social maturity in COM. In SHE, SD, OCC and LOC he got below age appropriate and in SHG, SHD & SOC he got above age appropriate. His SQ was 84.38 which is Below Average IQ. The subject needs self-help training to improve his eating, locomotion ability. Also he needs parent counselling to allow more room for learning and socialisation.
