To address the ability of the Salter Environment Type Assessment (SETA) to measure different kinds of campus environments, data from three studies of the SETA with the Work Environment Scale, Group Environment Scale, and University Residence Environment Scale were reexamined (n = 534). Relationship dimension scales were very consistent with extraversion and feeling from environmental type theory. System maintenance and systems change scales were associated with judging and perception on the SETA, respectively. Results from the SETA and personal growth dimension scales were mixed. Based on this analysis, the SETA may serve as a general purpose environmental assessment for use with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

The Social

The examination of clients and staff members perceptions of treatment environments is an area in which insufficient research has taken place. This study reports the results of an attempt to evaluate perceptions of treatment environments within the Comprehensive Drug Program of Dade County (Miami) Florida. The Moos Community Oriented Programs Environment Scale (COPES) was given in a self-administered form to a sample of 238 clients and fifty-five staff members in eight treatment programs. Analysis revealed that the perceptions of drug clients toward their treatment environments were generally more positive than those of clients in other types of medical and psychiatric treatment and that perceptions tended to vary directly with the extent and continuity of contact between clients and staff members. Finally, it is suggested that the evaluation of perceptions of treatment environments be made an essential aspect of treatment evaluation.

Students Satisfaction

Moos' Group Environment Scale was administered to 450 college students in 63 seminar-format classes. The Leader Support and Cohesion scales were salient predictors of several end-of-semester ratings of effect of the program.

Basketball Teams

Coaches and athletes from high school basketball teams (N = 50) served as subjects for three research investigations dealing with the relationship between coach-athlete interaction patterns and team climates, and coach-athlete perceptions of team climates. Basketball practices were videotaped and the interaction patterns were coded by Cheffers' Adaptation of Flanders' Interaction Analysis System (CAFIAS). Team climates were assessed by the Group Environment Scale (GES), an inventory designed to characterize and assess the psychosocial qualities of diverse environments. The quantity, quality, and sequence of coach-athlete interactions revealed a clear demarcation between satisfied and less satisfied team climates. Coaches perceived their team climates as more ideal and less in need of change than did athletes. Coach-athlete behavioral analysis and various aspects of teams' psychosocial environments pointed to the directions where changes might be implemented.
