It is suggested that the care of elderly parents, a long-term commitment, should be viewed from a developmental perspective, beginning from childhood for an adult ore-giver to be better adjusted to this role and for better outcomes.

Crystallization is defined as the ability to know or choose a discipline or vocational environment with characteristics congruent with one's personality or implementing one's vocational self‐concept in the appropriate vocational environment. Level of awareness is the amount of information or data one has about a discipline. Seventy‐six freshers of the University of Jos, Nigeria in two categories of disciplines—old/professional disciplines (medicine and law) and new disciplines (sociology and psychology) with different levels of awareness about them in Nigerian society were used. It was hypothesized that students in the old/professional disciplines of law and medicine would have better crystallization about their disciplines than students in the newer disciplines of psychology and sociology. This hypothesis was supported at P < 0.01. Also supported was the hypothesis that crystallization would not increase with chronological age.In conclusion, it is suggested that level of awareness as against chronological age is a more potent determiner of crystallization of career choice in Nigeria.

Preliminary data gathered from 145 participants; 67% women and 33% men, with ages ranging from 18 - 65 years (M = 30 . 96 years), suggest the presence of stifled grief. Stifled grief could have adverse consequences on worker's mental health and workplace productivity. Therefore, suggestions are made on how organizations could better manage employee grief.
