* In engineering, [[mathematics]], and geodesy, adjustment means the optimal [[parameter]] estimation of a [[mathematical model]] so as to best fit a [[data]] set. The most important [[method]] is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares least squares] adjustment, found by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Friedrich_Gauss Carl Friedrich Gauss].

* In [[psychology]], adjustment means the [[behavioral]] [[process]] of [[balancing]] [[conflicting]] needs, or needs against obstacles in the [[environment]]. [[Humans]] and [[animals]] regularly do this, for example, when they are stimulated by their physiological [[state]] to seek food, they eat (if possible) to reduce their hunger and thus adjust to the hunger stimulus. Adjustment disorder occurs when there is an inability to make a [[normal]] adjustment to some need or [[stress]] in the [[environment]].
