This paper investigates value changes in dental students and dentists over a ten-year period through a cross-sectional study of all dental students at the University of Minnesota in 1966 and 1976, and a ten-year longitudinal study of a class of dental students who entered in 1967. Findings in both studies showed significant differences in values over the ten-year period, but they could not be attributed to the dental school experience. Findings also showed that the values of the dentists in the longitudinal study changed significantly over the ten years from 1967 to 1977, to resemble those of dental school freshmen in 1976. Comparisons of the two studies indicated that changes in social values and the social pressures of professional role development could have accounted for the findings.
本文通过对明尼苏达大学1966年和1976年所有牙科学生的横断面研究，以及对1967年入学的一届牙科学生的十年纵向研究，调查了牙科学生和牙医在十年间的价值观变化。两项研究的结果均显示，在这十年间价值观存在显著差异，但这些差异不能归因于牙科学校的经历。研究结果还表明，纵向研究中的牙医在1967年至1977年的十年间价值观发生了显著变化，类似于1976年牙科学校新生的价值观。两项研究的比较表明，社会价值观的变化和职业角色发展的社会压力可能是这些结果的原因。
