title: Dentists' personal values: an exploratory investigation.
abstract: A sample of 367 dentists, all licensed to practice in Oregon, provided data for an investigation of the personal values of dentists. The authors found that the dentists' values differed in several particulars from those of the general population. On the other hand, they found that the values of younger and older dentists were highly similar, as were the values of male and female dentists.
