In this article measures of achievement-orientation, achievement anxiety, religion, sex, social class, grade point average and subjective probability of success in college were obtained from 577 students at the University of Michigan and 342 students at Drake University. As expected, relatively higher levels of achievement-orientation were found for Jews. Achievement-orientation showed an unexpected trend to higher scoring for those of higher social class. An interaction between religion and sex was found on the achievement anxiety measure. Protestant women were relatively high in anxiety while Protestant men were relatively low. Women had generally higher grade point averages than men with the most pronounced difference between Catholic men and women. Such findings were interpreted to mean that sex roles may vary systematically with religion. Social class differences were also found on the grade point average (GPA) where GPA tended to rise with social class, but dropped sharply at the upper class.
