Résumé

This study set itself the task of investigating the self-image and wish patterns of Grade VII underachievers as compared to those of their achieving peers. The findings indicate that underachievers are significantly more assertive and socially oriented than achievers, and that the latter show greater hostility and affective involvement. Underachievers wish to change in the direction of less social involvement and greater effectiveness, while their achieving counterparts wish for less effectiveness and greater social involvement.
