رابطه بين وضعيتهاي هويت شغلي و جنس با ترس از موفقيت در دانشجويان رشته هاي فني و مهندسي

450 senior university students (225 women, 225 men) in the field of engineeing were randomly selected from the Public Universities in Tehran. They completed two measures: Dellas Identity Status Inventory- occupation (DISI-O), and Fear of Success Scale (FOSS) by Zuckerman & Allison (1976). A chi square test showed no significant relationship between occupational identity statuses and sex. A two-way analysis of variance showed no inetraction effect of occupational identity statuses and sex on fear of success. Although there was no main effect of sex on fear of success, there was a main effect of occupational identity on fear of success. As predicted, students classified as achievers showed the highest scores on fear of success. The implications of these findings are discussed as they relate to the men and women personal and career development.
