✦ Synopsis

The study examined the relations between personal project level of abstraction, project con¯ict and psychological well-being. The revised Little's Personal Project Inventory was completed by 167 adults around the age of 30, and the amount of con¯ict experienced between the projects as well as the level of depression and life satisfaction were rated. Level refers to the degree of generality versus speci®city of the projects. Project level of abstraction and con¯ict were negatively related to each other. Abstract projects were appraised as meaningful and they tended to be stressful. Abstract and stressing projects were typical of depression and of single persons. Con¯ict was interpreted practically, re¯ecting, for instance, lack of time, and it characterized less meaningful projects. Blue collar workers had less con¯icting project systems than groups with middle level or academic education. Project level of abstraction and project con¯ict were not related to life satisfaction or gender.

The Relations of the Proprietor to the Retail Druggist and Price Maintenance**Abstracted from the “Report of the Committee on Relations with the Retail Drug Trade.” presented at the last annual meeting of the Proprietary Association of America. The paper IS reprinted as a contribution to the subjects of price maintenance on proprietary medcines and the cooperative manufacturing and buying movement. The report is not only well written and readable, but presents a fair-minded statement of the retailer’s reasons for being dissatisfied with his present profits on proprietary goods, and shows that the pro rietors are awakening to the necessity of cooperating with him in densing or finding an elective legal method for giving the relief asked for.
