Perception and adjustment: self and social

Bernard Brooks

This article describes a study (1994) which focuses on the ways in which a group of students at RNIB Redhill College view themselves in terms of self-adjustment. The findings are compared with ratings made by a tutor at the college, using a profile of adaptive skills. The main aim of the study was to determine whether students' self-perceptions vary greatly from the tutor's perceptions of their social adjustment. It was expected that there would be a number of 'mismatched' perceptions. This could have implications for evaluating both teaching programmes and individual development. The results of this small-scale study suggest that most students have problems related to self-esteem and self- efficacy. Such students should be identified at an early stage and supported appropriately.
