Abstract

The fiction contained in 36 textbooks, 16 Urdu and 20 English, prescribed by the four textbook boards of Pakistan for grades 6 to 10 were analyzed in terms of three major social motives: Achievement, Power and Affiliation. The total amount of fiction found in textbooks was low par­ticularly in English textbooks. The dominating imagery found in the Urdu textbooks was that of Affiliation followed by Power; in English textbooks it was Power followed by Affiliation. Achievement in both English and Urdu textbooks occupied the third place.
