Achievement and Identity in College-Age vs. Adult Women Students.

Freilino, Mary Kay; Hummel, Raymond

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v14 n1 p1-10 Feb 1985

This study investigated the relationship between Fear of Success (FOS) and Identity Status. Two groups of women, regular college age (18-23) and adult (over 30) were interviewed and completed measures of FOS. The hypothesis that adult students would exhibit less FOS than their college age counterparts was confirmed. (DWH)
