Objective Measurement of Fear of Success and Fear of Failure: A Factor Analytic Approach.
Sadd, Susan; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n3 p405-16 Jun 1978
Fear of success and failure scales were administered. Scores were intercorrelated. Results indicated fear of success is not unidimensional. Measures of fear of success and fear of failure were highly related. Stable orthogonal factors were obtained: fear of success, test anxiety, sex-role-related attitudes, neurotic insecurity, and the value of success. (Author/BEF)
