Structural Conditions of Achievement Among Whites and Blacks in the Rural South

Turner, Jonathan H.

Social Problems, 19, 4, 496-508, Spr 72

Low achievement motives were linked to the caste-like occupational structure, whereas low achievement value orientations were associated with perceptions of opportunities for mobility among blacks.
