Abstract

The Community Adaptation Schedule (CAS) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) were administered to 45 prisoners at a Federal prison and 40 nonprisoners at a vocational-technical school in order to explore the relationships between the CAS scales and 93 clinical and experimental MMPI scales. The CAS scores correlated with MMPI scales in a pattern consistent with the construct of community adaptation as assessed by the CAS. Implications of the study for further development of the CAS were discussed.
