description Research is dealing with the following: Do men and women differ in level or structure of the achievement motive? Are level of education and age significant factors in differentiation of young concerning the level of achievement motive? Do such values as collectivism/individualism and conservativism/radicalism correlate with the person's tendency to succeed? Sample was 382 men and women, average age of 21 and different levels of education. Scale MOP 2002 (Franceško, Mihić, Bala) has been applied for the achievement motive measurement; level of collectivism/individualism has been measured by KOIN2002 (Kodžopeljić, Šakotić, Janičić) and for the dimension conservativism/radicalism scale KORA2002 (Janičić, Majstorović, Genc) has been used. All scales mentioned have very good metric characteristics. Results show that men and women do not differ significantly concerning the score at the achievement motive scale, but they do differ in two factors that make this motive. Women show more persistency in achieving the aim and more often, compared to men, find pleasure in achieving those aims. Concerning the level of education, only one component (competition) showed relevant differences. Younger and less educated people showed higher tendency to compete. Total score at the MOP2002 scale correlates positively with the total score at the conservativism scale; also, correlation has been found between components of these two dispositions.
