Abstract
Thermodynamic properties of the anisotropic Blume-Emery-Griffiths model are discussed in the new type of effective-field theory. A new disordered phase which may correspond to the staggered quadrupolar phase predicted by the Monte Carlo simulation is found and its physical contents are investigated.
