✦ Synopsis
Nettler ( 6 ) and Siegman ( 8 ) which demonstrate that delinquents share the general cultural values.
Although no significant quantitative difference was found in the n achievement levels of delinquents and nondelinquents, this does not preclude the possibility of significant qualitative differences in the nature of their achievement motivations. The Gluecks who compared the vocational ambitions of delinquent and control Ss found that more delinquents were more vague in their vocational goals, etc.
These findings suggest the possibility of qualitative differences in the achievement motivations of delinquents and nondelinquents, a possibility which merits further investigation.
SUMMARY
The present study compared a group of young offenders and a control group, both of lower socio-economic background, in relation to n achievement. No significant difference was obtained.
