Abstract
Responses of 483 freshmen to the Good and Good Social Orientation Inventory were analyzed. The 28-item inventory was comprised of statements indicating behaviors that reflected a social power motive. The mean scores for the social power motive for men and women showed no significant differences between power motive by gender. These findings did not support those by Good and Good as reported in this Journal in 1972.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
