Summary:The motivational patterns of a select group of seventy adult evening college students were examined with the Motivational Analysis Test (MAT). Of the ten dynamic structures measured by the MAT, only the Mating Erg proved to be a significant (p > 01) variable in the motivational pattern, but Career Sentiment was observed to be a strong motive (p > 10) in the evening student. Apparently, the motives of wives and sweethearts exert a great influence upon the success or failure of these students.
