Abstract:
Biological information in the present study is limited to four types of blood groups namely A, B, O, and AB blood groups. Type of blood groups is genotive in nature and will not change the rest of man’s life. A blood group is one of genetic biological structures which has influence on human behaviour a great deal. Blood group type proves to be the easiest and cheapest genetics identification tool. Practical implication of blood type has been developed to deal with personality since the year of 1992 in Japan. Blood group is considered functioning as a prognosys and pseudoscience. Empirical finding following research shows that there is a behavioural pattern of reading book representing similarity to an individual with similar blood group type in a classical session. This phenomenon needs to be proven. The method used in the present study was a cross-sectional survey. Sampling was done on 80 individuals of 100 student population aged between 17 and 22 years. Random sampling was chosen
with stratification. Population was grouped in the strata with homogenous sample unit from blood group type. Each sample’s blood group was obtained from medical records at laboratory examination at the University Health Center. The focus of survey on reading behaviour comprise the habits emerged when reading book takes place of which aim is to put book reading behaviour pattern on individuals into a mode of mapping based on their type of blood groups. Result from the study as expected is firstly, a scientific base on a reading book theory. Secondly, an identification model of user’s profile to develop reading services program at various kinds of libraries. Thirdly, a way of making it easier for librarian to conduct a reader’s advisory work in reading interest. Fourthly, collecting a reading book as it is presented to the users appropriate with individuals’ behaviours.
