Vineland Social Maturity Scale: a scale designed to assess social maturity in terms of the ability to come to terms with one’s social needs and assume responsibility. Norms are available up to age twenty-five. One scale may also be used with younger or retarded people. A "social age" (SA) and a "social quotient" may be answered from the 117 items. The Vineland Social Maturity Scale, originally developed by Edgar A. Doll, represented an early attempt to measure social competence. Doll defined social competence as "a functional composite of human traits which subserves social usefulness as reflected in self-sufficiency and in service to others." This aspect of human behavior has also been termed adaptive behavior and has been incorporated as a major component in the definition of mental retardation.  3, record 28, English, - Vineland%20Adaptive%20Behavior%20Scale
