Abstract

This study presents cross-cultural data to support the hypothesis that father dominance is associated with low need Achievement (n Ach) in men. Evidence for the hypothesis was obtained (a) by testing groups of American and Turkish junior executives and (b) by comparing n Ach scores of Turks who differ in the degree to which they were dominated by their fathers. The American junior executives, as compared with the Turks, were found to have significantly higher n Ach scores. In 3 independent samples, Turks who were less dominated by their fathers, as measured by Ss’ age when their fathers died or when they first lived apart from their fathers, had signihcantly higher n Ach scores than did men who were more dominated by their fathers. Such a relationship was not found, however, when dominance was measured by Ss’ reports of who had had the greatest influence in their lives.

Li Tirkiyeyê Bavê Zal û Asta Serkeftinê

Abstract

Vê lêkolînê daneyên navçandî pêşkêşî dike da ku piştgirî bide hîpoteza ku serdestiya bav di mêran da bi hewcedariya kêm serkeftinê (n Ach) ra têkildar e. Delîlên vê hîpotezê (a) bi ceribandina komên rêveberên ciwan ên Amerîkî û Tirk û (b) bi berhevkirina n jimareyên tirkan ên ku di asta ku bavên wan serdest bûn da ji hev cuda bûn, hatin bidestxistin. Rêvebirên piçûk ên Amerîkî, li gorî Tirkan, bi rêjeyek girîng a serkeftin (n Ach)ê pir zêde bûn. Di 3 nimûneyên serbixwe da, Tirkên ku ji hêla bavên xwe ve kêmtir serdest bûn, li gorî temenê piçûk dema ku bavên wan miribûn an dema ku ew yekem car ji bavê xwe cuda jiyabûn, ji zilamên ku bêtir ji hêla bavên xwe ve serdestî dîtibûn, serkeftina wan pir zêde bû. Lêbelê, têkiliyek wusa nehat dîtin, dema ku serdestî bi raporên Ss-ê yên ku di jiyana wan de xwedî bandorek herî mezin bû hate pîvandin.
