The paper describes the development of scales to assess the perceived social‐environmental quality of work and family settings. The use of these scales in comparing and contrasting work and family settings and in examining their role as contexts for adaptation and growth is illustrated. Some tentative conclusions about social‐environmental influences on individual and family adaption are drawn and practical applications for planning ecologically oriented interventions are discussed.
