CORRELATIONS AMONG THREE MEASURES OF FEAR OF SUCCESS

Three instruments, scales by Pappo, Good and Good, and Zuckerman and Allison, which purport to measure fear of success, were administered to 89 university students. For the total sample, and for females alone, all correlations among scale scores were positive and significant. Small to moderate correlations among scores on the three scales were higher for females than for males, although mean scores for men and women did not differ significantly.
