Abstract
The achievement motive (n Ach) of 183 kibbutz children aged 9–14, of whom 62 were considered problematic, was investigated. The n Ach score, derived from responses to TAT-like cards, was highly related to the child's hierarchical status within his social age group, as assessed by teachers and peers in areas of skill and known criteria of excellence, but not to his ability to deal with undefined or chance situations. Normal girls, especially those reared in a consistent reinforcement system, scored significantly higher than normal boys and problematic children.Keywords
