McClelland's n-Ach Sequence Explained

David McClelland's theory links the Need for Achievement (n-Ach) to societal and individual factors. The proposed sequence outlines how certain values and practices can foster n-Ach, ultimately contributing to economic development.

Sequence Breakdown

The logical sequence of events according to McClelland's perspective is:

  • (d) Self reliance values: Societal or cultural emphasis on independence and personal responsibility is considered a precursor.
  • (b) Independence training by Parents: Parents, influenced by these values, train children to be independent from an early age.
  • (a) n - Ach in children: This early independence training helps children develop a higher Need for Achievement (n-Ach).
  • (c) Economic development: A population with higher average n-Ach is theorized to drive innovation and economic growth.

Therefore, the correct sequence is (d), (b), (a), (c).
