“…The objective environment is usually assessed by using outside observers or the consensus perceived ratings of those people constituting the environment. This second assessment method, that of obtaining the aggregate or mean of the perceived ratings, is assumed more valid as it is not constrained by the limited information available to the observer or the observer's own rating idiosyncrasies (Daher, Corrazini, & McKinnon, 1977;Harpin & Sandler, 1979;Moos, 1979;Nielsen & Moos, 1978). With the exception of French et al (1974), very few studies have included assessment of P-E fit using both the perceived and objective measures of the environment.…”

Self-efficacy, indicators of distress (state anxiety and frequency of physical symptoms), help-seeking (visits to the campus health center, an outside physician, and a counselor), and two measures of person-environment (P-E) fit were assessed on 152 college students and examined in a LISREL model. The two P-E fit measures were perceived discrepancy, the profile difference score between how each student would like their residence floor and how each viewed it as being, and actual discrepancy, the profile difference score between how each would like the floor to be and the mean rating for how floor residents viewed the floor. It was found that self-efficacy and perceived discrepancy had independent and moderate effects on distress but not on help-seeking, whereas actual discrepancy was found to have a strong effect on help-seeking and no direct effect on distress. Help-seeking was found to have a strong negative effect on distress.

“…As a concrete test of these hypotheses the present study attempts to replicate the findings of Harpin and Sandler's (1979) person-environment interactional study with the added prediction that high and low relevance will moderate the person-environment interaction. In the prior study (Harpin & Sandier, 1979) we found an interaction between the perceived classroom environment of academic locus of control on student adjustment and classroom grades. External students were found to have more adjustment problems in low-control classrooms than in high-control classrooms, while internal students received better grades in low-than in high-control classrooms.…”

“…Maladjustment was measured using self-report and teacher rating instruments. Similar to Harpin and Sandier (1979) the AML Behavior Rating Scale was used to obtain rating of maladaption. The scale includes 11 items from which four scores (aggression, moodiness, learning difficulties, and overall maladjustment) are derived.…”

“…Questions might also be raised about the possibility of unanticipated or unintended consequences of individual-systems fit. A large body of research conducted within a variety of settings has pointed to positive correlations among person-environment congruence and satisfaction, adjustment, and/or performance of the individual within that setting (French et al, 1974;Harpin & Sandler, 1979;Pervin, 1968). Yet the fit, or lack of fit, of an individual within a setting may have different implications for other aspects of life.…”

In this study, it was proposed that the implications of individual‐systems fit vary across different settings and across indicators of personal functioning internal and external to the setting. These predictions were put to test with 144 members of four churches differing in their perceived openness to different points of view and change. It was assumed that members with greater tolerance for ambiguity fit better within more autonomous open churches (MAOC), while members with less tolerance for ambiguity fit better within less autonomous open churches (LAOC). Modest support was obtained for both predictions. Among the MAOC, greater tolerance for ambiguity related significantly to satisfaction with aspects of the church, more active problem‐solving skills, life satisfaction, and higher levels of self‐esteem and trust in others. Among the LAOC, less tolerance for ambiguity related significantly to greater satisfaction with several aspects of the church. However, slightly positive rather than negative relationships emerged between tolerance for ambiguity and trust and self‐esteem. This study suggests that the efficacy of fit needs to be examined critically across diverse settings through a wide range of indicators of individual functioning.
