Abstract
Horner’s ‘women’s will to fail’ hypothesis was tested with a disjunctive reaction time task, using students from a church-related college divided into three equal groups: tested alone (F), competing against a male confederate (F-M), and competing against a female confederate (F-F). Group F reacted significantly slower than F-F (p < .01) and F-M (p < .05), and Group F-M reacted significantly slower than F-F (p <.05). The hypothesis that women in a competitive task with a male do not perform as well as when competing with another female was supported.
