AN ACCEPTABLE WAY OF REPRESENTING CONSISTENCY AS A MODERATOR VARIABLE USING INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IS THROUGH INTERACTION TERMS IN A SEQUENTIAL REGRESSION ANALYSIS THAT DEPARTS FROM THE TRADITIONAL MODERATOR MODEL, BUT RESULTS WITH SIMULATED DATA ARE MODEST. THE AUTHORS SUGGEST SEARCH FOR IMPORTANT MODERATOR EFFECTS IN FIELD OF PERSONALITY SHOULD BE GUIDED BY GENERIC IDEAS ABOUT SYSTEMATIC INTERACTIONS.

This book examines the living conditions of farm labourers in Trans Nzoia, one of Kenya's large-scale farming districts. Based on a study conducted in 1989 among large farmers and farm labourers, an overview is given of wages, provisions, the various sources of income, the importance of social networks and the nutritional status of different groups of farm labourers. From the data presented it appears that the extent to which households depend on large farm owners for their livelihood largely determines their economic position. But the interdependency has its costs. The more the labourers' households are tied to the land of the farm owner for both income and own food production, the more difficulties they face in satisfying even their basic needs. (DÜI-Hff)
