Validity Studies of Three Measures of Achievement Motivation
Three studies of samples of university women ( Ns between 50 and 79) and men ( Ns between 28 and 47) were undertaken to determine the concurrent validity of two questionnaires and a TAT test, each purporting to measure achievement motivation. In Study I, Lindgren's NachNaff test correlated more strongly than Ray's Achievement Orientation (AO) test with scales on the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) considered to reflect different degrees…
Achievement and Affiliation Motivation and their Correlates
The NachNaff scale is a 30-item questionnaire that requires examinees to choose between self-descriptions consistent with either need for achievement (n Ach) or need for affiliation (n Aff). This scale, which is scored in the n Ach direction, was administered to a sample of 108 female and 56 male undergraduates. Women's n Ach scores were found to be correlated with scores on Srong Vocational Interest Blank scales and on the California Psychologic…
Sex Differences in Achievement and Affiliation Motivation among Undergraduates Majoring in Different Academic Fields
The NachNaff scale, a 30-item questionnaire that requires subjects to choose between self-descriptions consistent with either need for achievement (n Ach) or need for affiliation (n Aff) was administered to 165 male and 274 female university undergraduates. Male marketing majors scored higher in n Ach (and lower in n Aff) than subjects in other majors. Female education and nursing majors scored lower in n Ach (and higher in n Aff) than other subj…

Achievement Need, Salary Grade, Age, and Sex among Bank Employees
This smdy concerned the part played by achievement motivation in the careers of bank employees. Subjects were 27 women and 10 men employed by a large metropolitan bank in San Francisco. The measure of achievement motivation employed was the NachNaff scale developed by Lindgren (1976). The scale has 30 pairs of self-descriptive adjectives. One adjective in each pair describes behavior consistent with achievement-related behavior, whereas the orher…

Measuring Need to Achieve by n Ach-n Aff Scale—A Forced-Choice Questionnaire
To measure the need to achieve (n Ach), a questionnaire was constructed which required the subject to make a forced choice on each of 30 pairs of adjectives. Half the adjectives were based on the Need for Achievement scale and the other half on the Need for Affiliation scale of Gough's Adjective Check List. When the questionnaire was scored in the n Ach direction, differences between sex and age groupings of college students were negligible and n…
Political Conservatism and its Social Environment
Although common sense and popular belief hold that the white-collar class is more conservative politically and less liberal than the blue-collar class, researchers have found a negative relationship between social status and authoritarian traits, including political conservatism. The election of 1972 offered a unique opportunity to test the hypothesis that voters' preferences in each state for the more conservative candidate would be negatively, …
Ideal Teacher Concepts
Gough, Durflinger, and Hill (1968) developed a scoring formula, based on California Psychological Inventory scales, that discriminated between student teachers rated good or poor by training supervisors. Cross-validation studies showed that the student-teacher scoring formula (STSF) predicted student success fairly well. The researchers also wished to identify personal characteristics related to high and low scorers on the STSF, and asked fratern…
Arab and American Autoand Heterostereotypes
Forty Arab and 21 American male university students were asked to rate a list of 250 adjectives, drawn from Gough's Adjective Check List, in terms of the extent to which each adjective was descriptive of the respondent. Seventeen adjectives were selected as more descriptive of Arab than American respondents, and 27 were selected as being more descriptive of American than Arab respondents. The adjectives thus selected were used to construct a forc…

Brainstorming and Orneriness as Facilitators of Creativity
When 173 Ss were assigned the task of writing captions for cartoons in a three-stage experiment in which they brainstormed alone, then in small groups, and finally alone, the level of creativity of responses was higher in the third phase, as contrasted with the first phase. The number of responses produced in the third phase was significantly higher for women, but not for men. Level of creativity, but not the number of responses, was positively c…

Authoritarianism, Independence, and Child-Centered Practices in Education
Although common sense suggests that child-centered attitudes and practices in education (as contrasted with traditional attitudes and practices) would be more consistent with equalitarian than with authorirarian attitudes, there appears to be little research that directly confirms such a supposition, particularly with respect to nonteaching personnel. Data regarding such a relationship would be of interest and value especially in the United State…
