The objectives of many graduate programs in the health sciences include the development of various personal characteristics, attitudes, and beliefs. A study was carried out to assess whether personal characteristics of graduate students could be affected by program participation and, if so, which specific personal characteristics could be changed. Three attitude tests were administered to three consecutive classes of mature health professionals, using a repetitive pre-post design. Results showed no difference from pre- to posttesting on the California Personality Inventory; a positive difference on one main scale and two subscales of the Personal Orientation Inventory (inner directedness, flexibility in application of values, and self-acceptance); and a negative difference on the Health Professional Survey (attitude toward working in teams). These findings suggest that many personal characteristics deemed important by program planners in the health sciences may more appropriately be criteria for admission than objectives of the program.
许多健康科学领域的研究生项目目标包括培养各种个人特质、态度和信念。开展了一项研究，以评估研究生的个人特质是否会受到参与项目的影响，如果是，哪些具体的个人特质会发生变化。采用重复的前后测试设计，对连续三个班级的成熟健康专业人员进行了三项态度测试。结果显示，在加州人格量表上前后测试没有差异；在个人取向量表的一个主量表和两个子量表（内在导向性、价值观应用的灵活性和自我接纳）上有正向差异；在健康专业人员调查（对团队合作的态度）上有负向差异。这些发现表明，健康科学领域的项目规划者认为重要的许多个人特质，可能更适合作为入学标准而非项目目标。
