Fear of Success in Undergraduates: A Replication of Horner's Work, 1971

These data were collected in part to replicate Horner's original study of fear of success in college students conducted in 1965 (Log# 00075). The major purposes of the study were (1) to investigate what aspects of the anticipation of success produce anxiety in women, and (2) to see whether during the six years between the gathering of Horner's and Hoffman's data, there had been a change in achievement orientations, particularly in the motive to avoid success.<br />
