Abstract
Although a considerable body of knowledge had been developed on the motive to achieve and the motive to avoid failure (Atkinson, 1953, 1964; McClelland, 1953, 1961; Veroff et al., 1953), the motive to avoid success did not receive much attention until Matina Homer began her work in 1965 (Horner, 1968, 1971; Tresemer, 1974). Since 1965, several other studies (Hoffman, 1974; Feather and Raphelson, 1974; Levine and Crumrine, 1975) have focused on the prevalence and consequences of fear of success, but their results have left several questions unanswered.
