Gender Differences
•Some women’s need to achieve drops far below that of men in adulthood. They seem to prefer maintaining relationship and watching over the psychosocial aspects of living.
•Older women with high achievement needs have been shown to express an even greater independence and self-reliance than achievement-motivated women in their twenties.
•Many women and some men return to school in their thirties and forties.
