Abstract
Summary: Thematic Apperceptive measures of achievement, affiliation, and power motives, together with consensual judges’ ratings for several clusters of attitudes, beliefs, and actions, and objective data on office‐holding were obtained from thirty‐eight Black undergraduate university students Overall, need for Power was related to holding office, being rated as influential, and participating in the Black Repertory Theatre. Among Northern‐reared Blacks, need for Power related to ratings of activity in the extramural Black community and distrust of the System, among Southern‐reared Blacks, need for Power and need for Achievement related to ratings of Pragmatism.Keywords
