Fear of Failure and the Zeigarnik Effect
The present study was a partial replication of one by Atkinson in 1953 and an attempt to assess the effect of strength of fear-of-failure motivation on recall of interrupted and completed tasks. 81 freshman men enrolled in introductory psychology classes were administered the Thematic Apperception Test under typical “neutral” conditions. At a later date, the test for Zeigarnik effect was given and scores obtained. Correlational analyses suggested…
Fear of Failure in Families without Fathers
165 students in introductory psychology were administered a modified TAT task scored for Fear of Failure using procedures developed by Birney, et al., in 1969. Significant differences in scores on Fear of Failure were reported between students in two-parent homes and those from father-absent homes. Differences in Fear of Failure scores were largest between intact families and those families where the father had died and next largest between intac…
Need for Achievement and Sociometric Status
Sex-Role Orientation and Fear of Failure in Women
155 female students in introductory psychology responded to a modified TAT, a role-orientation scale, and a level-of-aspiration task to test the utility of the Birney, Burdick, and Teevan (1969) model of fear-of-failure motivation in predicting the behavior of females who accept culturally-defined, masculine achievement goals as personally relevant. Subjects were classified as high or low in fear-of-failure motivation, as traditional or nontradit…
Practice, Performance, and Level of Aspiration
Teevan and Smith (1975) demonstrated that statements of level of aspiration set by subjects fearing failure were better understood as representing a range of aspirations. The region between the lower and upper boundaries was termed a confirming interval. The present study hypothesized that this interval narrowed with experience, that subjects were affectively indifferent to scores located within the interval, and that subjects scoring within the …
Generation of Fractionated Goal Response by Differential Activity at the Goal-Box
It was hypothesized that the probability of making a correct response at the choice point of a simple T-maze is increased when goal-box conditions serve to heighten the kind and degree of effector activity demanded in making that response. 60 albino rats were divided equally among each of 5 experimental conditions reflecting differences in effector activity at the goal-box. Predictions suggested that occurrence of the correct response at the choi…
Acquisition of a Foreign Language Vocabulary as Influenced by Meaning ( m ) and Reinforcement
Preliminary work with 40 Ss showed meaning ( m) and reinforcement were influential in the acquisition of Spanish vocabulary items
