Five groups of Ss were forced to encode briefly exposed stimuli in a prescribed order and to classify the stimulus as a negative or a positive instance of the concept.

In addition, it is hoped that this study will make a significant contribution to the large body of knowledge spawned in the field of achievement motivation.
