مستخلص: Several hypotheses regarding the determinants of need achievement were examined. In addition to predicting sex differences, the study predicted that father's age would be inversely related to need achievement. In addition, the effects of family size and birth order on achievement motivation were compared. Subjects were 1,092 undergraduates (785 males and 307 females). Need achievement was measured by the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. The results indicate that father's age, sex, and family size were significantly related to need achievement. Younger fathers, males, and smaller families were associated with higher need achievement. (Author)
