Abstract: The motive to avoid academic and vocational success in Hispanic American women was explored empirically. Sixty Hispanic women, juniors and seniors on the Dean's List in the various senior colleges of the City University of New York were utilized as subjects. The subjects were given the Goldberg Articles Test, the Motive to Avoid Success Projective Test, and a demographic variables questionnaire. Subjects were tested in small groups. These findings were compared and contrasted with a comparable subject population of white Dean's List women from a previous study by Puder (1976). Results indicate that this particular subject population did not exhibit a motive to avoid success. There is a discussion as to why these results may have occurred as well as suggestions for future studies.
