A study examined the attitudes of legislators toward issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky, to determine (1) if there were differences in legislators' perception of the usefulness of mass media and interpersonal sources for information, (2) if there was a greater evidence of mass media usage among legislators who can be considered opinion leaders, (3) if legislators held strong opinions about the existence of bias in their sources, (4) if legislators displayed any particular leadership styles, and (5) if legislators perceived the energy concerns of their constituents. Subjects, 84 members of the Kentucky State Legislature, answered a six-page questionnaire designed to obtain responses to the research questions. Results indicated a very important role for interpersonal information sources such as lobbyists, legislative colleagues, constituents, and the Legislative Research Committee (LRC). Findings also indicated that there are some perceptual differences among legislators regarding the usefulness and bias of information sources. Those who become "opinion leaders" are less, rather than more, likely to use mass media sources for decision making. Results also suggested that legislators appear not to prefer all mass media sources or all interpersonal sources, but to judge each source on its own merit and lack of bias. With regard to leadership or management styles, party-adhering types appeared to be a common phenomenon. Finally, legislators ranked energy as being of less concern to their constituents than seven other issues. (References and four tables of data are appended.) (NKA)
