Memorandum on Suggestions for Research in the Field of Social Adjustment

Many related problem in the fields of sociology, social psychology, and cultural anthropology may be viewed as problems of social adjustment for convenience in research planning and stimulation. Not a few of these problems are still beyond the hope of successful attack with scientific techniques now available, but there are, of course, some that meet the tests of probable utility of anticipated research results and of research feasibility in terms of available data, personel, applicable techniques, and prerequisite knowledge resulting from previous research. Basic work on fundamental questions underlying the general field of human adjustment should be given priority in the selection of problems for emphasis, while at the same time work on specific social problems may be carried forward. Genetic factors in social adjustment, motivations in social adjustment, and the measurement and prediction of success in social adjustment are proposed as three likely areas for basic research. From among the many concrete problems of social adjustment four are selected for present consideration: social adjustment to population changes, to old age, to technological changes, and to the existing national emergency
