Cynics Are Right Nine Times Out Of Ten : Negative Ilts On The Evaluation Of Leader Errors, Gage Matyasovszky

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of negative-typical implicit leadership theories (ILTs), a follower’s cognitive framing and expectation for leaders on average to be more tyrannical and less sensitive in their actions and traits, on a follower’s evaluation of leader error.

The study also investigated the effects of cynical beliefs that people are bad and that interactions with others will end poorly, on negative-typical ILTs and on the evaluation of leader error. A sample of 221 undergraduates read a vignette filled with potential errors and were asked …

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The current study not only looked at the simple relationships among variables, but also examined on the possibility of curvilinear relationships and additive effects versus multiplicative effects in predicting leader effectiveness and follower satisfaction.
