Gender Orientation and Emergent Leader Behavior.

Gurman, Ernest B.; Long, Keith

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v27 n7-8 p391-400 Oct 1992

Two studies involving 135 female and 21 male undergraduates compare effects of masculinity and femininity on rater and ratee evaluations of emergent leader behavior in mixed-sex and same-sex groups. Masculinity is not associated with peer-rated leadership, but femininity is correlated with two measures (self-task and self-relationship) of self-rated leadership. (SLD)
