A follow-up study on feat of success was completed 19 years after Horner collected her data in 1968. It was hypothesized that cultural changes relating to women's liberation would result in fewer women and more men exhibiting fear of success compared to Horner's findings. 25 men and 25 women were tested using Horner's procedures to facilitate comparisons. A higher percentage of men exhibited fear of success than Horner reported; however, the percentage of women remained about the same. Apparently, the impact of societal changes on men has been greater than on women.

Previous longitudinal studies have demonstrated the importance of measuring stability of risk factors over time to correct for attenuation bias. The present aim was to assess the stability of scores for eight psychometric scales over a 2-yr. period and whether stability differed by socioeconomic position. Baseline data were collected during 2003–2004 from 1,007 men and women ages 45 to 69 years. Follow-up data were collected in 2006 from a total of 795 men and women. Analysis showed that stability over 2 yr. was moderate and tended to be lower in groups of low socioeconomic position. It is suggested that correction of attenuation bias is relevant in longitudinal studies for psychosocial factors, especially for groups of low socioeconomic position.
