“…Each subject was paid five dollars to complete a questionnaire containing Spence and Helmreich's (1978) measures of achievement motivation (the Work and Family Orientation Questionnaire, as revised by , hereafter called WOFO) and masculinity and femininity (the Personal Attributes Questionnaire or PAQ), a Symptom Checklist (described below), and an objective measure of fear of success (Sadd et al, 1978). Permission to secure each student's transcript was also obtained, and from the transcript several performance indices were constructed.…”

Spence and Helmreich's (1978) claim that individual differences in four components of achievement motivation (mastery, work, competitiveness, and personal unconcern) are attributable to masculinity and femininity rather than to gender was generally supported, with one exception: Masculinity was associated with competitiveness for males but not for females. Furthermore, competitive women were more likely than noncompetitive women to have mental and physical health problems, but there was no such difference for males. In general, masculinity emerged as a beneficial constellation of traits for both males and females, correlating negatively with achievement conflicts and stress symptoms, and positively with mastery and work. Femininity, on the other hand, appeared to be a detrimental cluster of traits for both sexes, at least in terms of academic performance and health. Implications for the controversial concept of androgyny were discussed, and it was suggested that, in the future, research inspired by an ideal conception of adult behavior confront the ideal directly rather than describe it in terms of the traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity. Any such research effort will have to deal with the pivotal role of competitiveness.

“…A Psicologia, por sua vez, é a ciência que parece ter se dedicado mais ao assunto, sobretudo a Psicologia Social, que investigou visões do sucesso distintas (SIMON, 1996;DYKE;MUR-PHY, 2006); o chamado medo do sucesso (HOFFMAN, 1977;HORNER, 1972;SADD;LENAUER;CHAVER;BUNIVANT, 1978;YODER, 1992); a relação entre a batalha pelo sucesso e o bem-estar, a satisfação ou a felicidade do indivíduo (CARVER, 1998;KASSER;RYAN, 1993;NICKERSON;SCHWARZ;DIENER;KAHNEMAN, 2003); entre outros assuntos. Em grande parte desses estudos, a questão da motivação é recorrente, mesmo que não ocupe o centro da preocupação dos autores.…”

“…Apesar de ter demonstrado boas propriedades psicométricas em Portugal, seu êxito não se repetiu aqui no País. Repetidas vezes encontramos tratamentos estatísticos dos dados usando, por exemplo, análise fatorial (CARVER; BAIRD, 1998;REGO;LEITE, 2003;SADD;LENAUER;CHAVER;BUNIVANT, 1978;STEINKAMP;HABTEYES, 1985) (DANN, 1995;DRIES;PEPERMANS;DE KERPEL, 2008;YODER, 1992).

Neste contexto, podemos observar, entre outros fenômenos, a prerrogativa da visão de mercado, o obscurecimento das diferenças ideológicas, a não separação entre vida pública e privada. Argumentamos que a noção de sucesso contemporânea está inserida neste contexto. A partir da perspectiva construcionista, que propõe que a vida social resulta de uma construção coletiva organizada por práticas discursivas, este trabalho revisa e classifica artigos acadêmicos nacionais e internacionais sobre sucesso, com o objetivo de mostrar que o conceito de sucesso traz em si uma noção que foi sendo difundida e incorporada como modelo de conduta na sociedade contemporânea, em sintonia com os valores disseminados pelo management. A noção de sucesso tem sido explorada por um vasto número de publicações, especialmente aquelas descritas como pop management (WOOD JR.; PAULA, 2002), mas também criticada em textos acadêmicos (PAHL, 1997; TANURE; CARVALHO NETO; ANDRA-DE, 2007; PARKER, 2011). Tal modelo de sucesso, propagado pela mídia e visto como possibilidade de ascensão e mobilidade social, ignora questões de gênero e impõe elevados custos pessoais para que possa ser alcançado. A perspectiva crítica utilizada neste ensaio pretende desnaturalizar estruturas sociais descritas como inevitáveis, mostrar que as discussões sobre sucesso estão cheias de controvérsias, propor que o sucesso é uma instituição social construída e assimilada em diversas fronteiras e, ao fazer isso, permitir a configuração de novos sentidos para o termo. PALAVRAS-CHAVESentidos do sucesso; Gerencialismo; Construcionismo; Instituição; Práticas discursivas.• (2002), trata-se de obras que contribuem para criar uma realidade simbólica de referência, ao assumir e disseminar valores, e que se caracterizam por apresentar alguns padrões recorrentes, dentre os quais rec...

“…For instance, even though not a formal aspect of Cluster C, a pattern of fear of success and self-defeating personalities is prominent enough to qualify as avoidance of success, by lowering expectations and goals and acting in ways that will lead to failure, either personal or professional defeats, or both. Fear of success may represent test anxiety, sex-role-related attitudes toward success, neurotic insecurity, and questioning the value of success (Sadd, Lenauer, Shaver, & Dunivant, 1978). Whether this characteristic is more frequent in women remains to be seen (Schecter, 1979).…”

The basic questions of personality psychology will simply not go away (Funder, 2001, p. 216)."The purpose of this work is to update, expand, examine, and evaluate a developmental, relational, and contextual theory of personality socialization and psychopathology in intimate and nonintimate relationships, family, friends, and other settings, namely: home, school/work, and surplus/leisure time activities (L'). By intimate is meant relationships that are close, committed, interdependent, and prolonged. By close is meant relationships that are bound by emotional, physical, financial, legal, generational, and practical ties. By committed is meant a belief that the relationship will survive and that both partners and family members are involved in it reciprocally and mutually. By interdependent is meant that members of the unit, whatever that unit may be, have to depend on each other for survival and enjoyment. By prolonged is meant relationships that have been preserved and have survived the passage and test of time. By the same token, nonintimate relationships are distant, spatially and temporally, uncommitted, by blood, or by any other means, short-lived and superficial, where other relationships are available to satisfy dependency needs. Closeness, commitment, interdependence, and prolongation in no way imply the level of functionality in a relationship. Satisfaction in a relationship may well be independent from those four characteristics. One could be close, committed, and interdependent for a prolonged period of vii viii Preface Preface ix commitment, some degree of interdependence, and some degree of prolongation. Whether these four characteristics are necessary and sufficient remains to be seen throughout the pages of this work. Instead of the nuclear family as traditionally conceived, many alternatives and substitutes have assumed the same function, perhaps with a much greater degree of choice an...
