Abstract

The purpose of our study was to reveal how parents (father or mother: total N=953) perceive over-adapted junior high school students (N=384) and undergraduates (N=569) in order to validate a scale for over-adaptation (OAS-RS: Kazama & Hiraishi, 2018). From the results of the cluster analysis based on OAS-RS scale scores, 4 clusters for junior high school students and 5 clusters for undergraduates were extracted. These clusters commonly included an over-adapted group (high levels of self-inhibition and other-oriented attitudes) and a self-inhibition group (only a high level of self-inhibition: internal maladjustment tendency). The main results of ANOVA indicated that the self-rated scores of self-inhibition and other-oriented attitudes were significantly higher than parent-rated scores, suggesting that the parents underestimated the over-adaptation tendency of their over-adapted and self-inhibited children. Our study thus contributed to validating a scale for over-adaptation (OAS-RS).
