The impact of culture on manifest needs was investigated by administering Tripathi Personal Preference Schedule to 200 Hindu (100 males, 100 females) and 200 Muslim (100 males, 100 females) college students of Bhagalpur University. It was found that the male and female subjects of two religious groups differed significantly in almost similar way. Hindus were high in achievement, autonomy and endurance needs while Muslims were high in deference, order, affiliation and heterosexuality needs.
