Motives in American Men and Women across the Adult Life Span.

Veroff, Joseph; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v20 n6 p1142-58 Nov 1984

Investigates stability and change in four social motives (achievement, affiliation, fear of weakness, hope of power) over the adult life cycle. Motives were assessed in 1957 and 1976 by coding thematic apperceptive content in stories told about six pictures. Some age differences and cohort stability were evident for both sexes. (Author/CB)
