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 nontraditional in sex-role orientation, and as having either defensive or nondefensive level-of-aspiration goals. Contrary to hypothesis, no difference was found between high fear-of-failure traditional and nontraditional females in setting defensive goals
