Abstract

Data from multiple sources supported the distinction between secure and insecure motivation for recognition. Insecure recognition motivation was related to Fear of Power and need for Intimacy in Thematic-Apperception-Test type of stories but not to recognition-seeking in stories or in groups. The reverse was true for secure recognition motivation. Subjects were Israeli undergraduates who completed questionnaires and wrote imaginative stories and participated in sensitivity-training groups.
