In this continuing longitudinal study on professional socialization of dental students, further analysis of the changes occurring in their attitudes towards the chosen profession is carried out. Although students' basic norms and values remained generally unchanged over time, disillusionment set in with regard to most of the expected professional rewards, in particular the anticipated 'intellectual challenge'. Unlikely, medical students who served as a comparison showed greatest disparity between expectation at admission and at graduation with regard to the economic side of their profession ('high income' and 'job security'). In spite of the growing cynicism of dental students throughout the years of education, apparent in the steady increase in expectations of extrinsic rewards and decreases in expectations of intrinsic rewards, these changes may be only situational in nature, for the same group of graduates showed a return to a more idealistic outlook of their profession 8 years post-graduation.
在这项关于牙科学生职业社会化的持续纵向研究中，对他们对所选职业态度的变化进行了进一步分析。尽管学生的基本规范和价值观总体上随时间保持不变，但对于大多数预期的职业回报，尤其是预期的“智力挑战”，出现了幻灭感。与作为对照的医学生不同，他们在入学时和毕业时对职业经济方面（“高收入”和“工作保障”）的期望差异最大。尽管在多年的教育过程中，牙科学生的犬儒主义不断增加，表现为对外部回报的期望稳步上升，对内在回报的期望下降，但这些变化可能只是表面的，因为同一组毕业生在毕业后8年表现出对其职业更理想主义的看法。
