The second measure is the measure of achievement motivation which consists of (36) paragraphs divided into five dimensions: (goal setting and its clarity, ambition, perseverance and perceived efficiency). Their validity and steadfastness have been verified.

The sample consisted of (825) male and female students i.e. (15%) of the size of the study population. The results of the study concluded in the following:
•The level of achievement motivation and level of social responsibility was high in the study sample.
• There were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (a≤0.05) in the estimations of the study sample on the level of achievement motivation and the level of social responsibility attributed to gender variable in favor of females.
