Acquiescence and nonoccupational interests.

Abstract

This study examined differences in nonoccupational interests between highand low-acquiescent subjects. High-acquiescent subjects showed a wider range of interests by scoring higher on the Diversity of Interests Scale of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank and manifested an interest in "extrovert" activities by scoring lower on the Occupational Introversion-Extroversion Scale than low-acquiescent subjects. No significant differences were found between highand low-acquiescent subjects on the Academic Achievement and Occupational Level Scales. The results were related to previous findings by Berdie and by Armatas and Collister.

A Case of Bilateral Hip Dysplasia in a Foal

“…The main feature of hip dysplasia in dogs is coxofemoral joint laxity permitting excessive movement between the femoral head and acetabulum and which results in secondary degenerative changes in the joint (Jubb and Kennedy, 1970). The case described in the report would seem to be similar to the condition as seen in dogs, and also to the condition described in the Dole horse by Haakenstad (1953) although in the latter clinical signs developed in older horses. Although the parents and one relation are reportedly free of hip disease the possibility of the condition being inherited cannot be dismissed as there is insufficient information on which to base a definite opinion.…”

“…Degenerative arthritis of the coxofemoral joints in the Norwegian Dole horse characterised by lameness, erosion of the joint cartilages, deposition of new bone at the attachments of the joint capsules and the teres ligaments, stretching and rupture of the teres ligaments and eventually luxation has been described and is considered to be due to hip dysplasia and to be inherited (Haakenstad, 1953).…”

A cat model for the evaluation of mechanisms of bone resorption: Induction of bone loss by simulated immune complexes and inhibition by indomethacin

“…One tooth would have been injected with immune complexes, another with antigen alone, and a third with antibody alone. In addition, we would have had to examine many different antigen-antibody ratios to determine the proper lattice structure [34], leading to a cumbersome and impractical experimental design.…”

Prediger's dimensional representation of Holland's RIASEC circumplex.

“…First, the general factor could be viewed as differentially related to the RIASEC types, with some types more highly related to the general factor. For example, if the scores on social and enterprising scales were more correlated with the general factor than were scores on the other scales, as could be inferred from Haakenstad and Apostal's article (1971), then the relations between the social and enterprising scales and their relations with the remaining scales could be attenuated. Second, the general factor could be viewed as being equally related to the RIASEC types, with each type having an identical relation with the general factor.…”
