Abstract
This chapter deals with differences in social motives between cultures and with their development. First, social motives are described as complex functional systems. Then aggressiveness and achievement motivation are dealt with as examples. Assumptions about biological factors are discussed and cultural differences are reported. Based on cross-cultural research variations in early mother-child relations and in cultural norms and values are dealt with as main sources of individual and cultural differences.
