Distress and self-restraint as measures of adjustment across the life span: Confirmatory factor analyses in clinical and nonclinical samples.

The Weinberger Adjustment Inventory (WAI; D. Weinberger N = 1,486). The factor structure was highly comparable with a mean comparative fit index (CFI) of.968 for youth (ages 10-17), young adults (ages 18-30), and adults (ages 31-65) within both clinical outpatient and nonclinical populations. The results suggest that there may be little justification for the routine practice of using different measures of general adjustment when investigating older children vs. adults.
