Why does the Vineland use only four domains to assess adaptive behavior when the American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) defines 10 areas of adaptive functioning?
Factor analytic studies concerning adaptive behavior have overwhelmingly found there to be only four distinct factors, as in the Vineland domains. The four domains of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales include information on all 10 of the areas defined by AAMR. For example, the assessments of the AAMR areas of home living, self-care, community use, health and safety, and work are all included in the Vineland Daily Living Skills domain.
