Abstract

Research on how uncertainty affects the preference for prototypical over non-prototypical leaders has produced mixed results. To understand these discrepancies, two studies explored leader status (prospective versus incumbent) as a potential moderator. Participants reported levels of self-uncertainty (Study 1) or were primed with high versus low self-uncertainty (Study 2) before evaluating a prototypical or non-prototypical leadership candidate who was incumbent or prospective. For incumbent candidates, prototypicality predicted more favorable evaluations under low self-uncertainty, but this relationship was weakened under high self-uncertainty. For prospective candidates, prototypicality predicted more favorable evaluations under high self-uncertainty, but this relationship was weakened under low self-uncertainty.

在位和自我不确定性:当原型领导者失去优势时。
关于不确定性如何影响人们对原型领导而非非原型领导的偏好的研究结果喜忧参半。为了了解这些差异,有两项研究将领导者身份(未来领导者与现任领导者)作为潜在的调节因素进行了探讨。受试者在评估原型或非原型领导候选人(现任或未来)之前,先报告自我不确定性水平(研究 1)或自我不确定性高低(研究 2)。对于现任候选人,在低自我不确定性条件下,原型性预示着更有利的评价,但在高自我不确定性条件下,这种关系被削弱。对于未来的候选人来说,在自我不确定性较高的情况下,原型性预示着更多的有利评价,但在自我不确定性较低的情况下,这种关系被削弱。

期刊介绍: Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
