Randomized trial examines social environment's effects on children's adjustment in classrooms, suggesting pathways for improvement.

The aim is to explore how perceived social environments affect children's adjustment in elementary classrooms.
Analyzed data from 30 classrooms (grades 2-4) with perspectives from both teachers and children.
Utilized multiple regression analyses controlling for grade level and family income.
Assessed nine adjustment variables based on teacher and peer ratings.
Peer ratings were more positive in lower grades and in classrooms rated high in order and organization.
Teachers reported less acting-out behaviors in classrooms rated high in affiliation, teacher control, and task orientation.
Teacher and student perceptions of classroom dynamics did not align closely.

Toro et al. (1985) studied this question.
