Basic Principles of Adjustment
1. Need or motivation represented by a potent, enduring stimulus
2. Obstruction or failure to meet this need
3. Variety of activities, or exploratory behaviour combined with problem-solving
4. Reaction that completes the adjustment by eliminating or at the very least reducing the initial stimulus
Physiological adjustments
Similar to social and cultural changes. People try to fit in and have their psychological needs (such as love or affirmation) addressed through the social networks they inhabit. When requirements arise, particularly in unfamiliar or altered environments, they motivate interpersonal engagement designed to meet those wants.
