A Construct Validation of the Good and Good Measure of Social-Power Motivation

Abstract

Evidence is reported for construct validation of the Good and Good measure of social-power motivation. Subjects (N = 121) completed the Good and Good social-power motivation scale. A questionnaire also developed for the present study requested certain biographical data as well as information believed by the present authors to be indicative of manifestations of the need to obtain social power. Of the 20 variables studied as a basis for construct validation of the Good and Good measure of social-power motivation, 15 demonstrated significant results in the expected direction. Of the two biographical variables, age emerged as a significant variable, but sex did not.
