Race Comparisons on Need for Achievement: A Meta-analytic Alternative to Graham's Narrative Review.
Cooper, Harris; Dorr, Nancy
Review of Educational Research, v65 n4 p483-508 Win 1995
While a review by S. Graham (1994) found no differences between blacks and whites on measures of need for achievement, this meta-analysis article found reliable and complex race differences. Overall, whites scored higher on measures of need for achievement, although differences nearly disappeared in studies after 1970. Possible explanations are discussed. (SLD)
