Abstract
In an earlier study a program for change significantly increased male students' positive acceptance of a concept, motivation to manage. The present study was a replication ( n = 20 male college students) and supported the previous findings; however, unlike the original study, the present research included 7 female students who completed the change program and also demonstrated a positive change.Keywords
