A REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON ASO AND LPC SCORES AS MEASURES OF LEADERSHIP STYLE.
Abstract
A review is presented of research on the reliability and validity of two interpersonal perception scores, Assumed Similarity between Opposites (ASo) and the Esteem for the Least Preferred Co-worker (LPC). The review concerns itself particularly with the interpretation of these scores and presents evidence that ASo and LPC scores are indices of motivation. Individuals with high ASo and LPC scores, indicating favorable perceptions of least preferred co-workers, can be seen as seeking personal prominence and good interpersonal relations. Those with low ASo and LPC scores can be seen as seeking task success experiences. The behaviors of these two types of individuals change respectively toward greater activity in the direction of personal prominence and interaction or concern with the task as the group task situation becomes less favorable for the leader, hence more threatening to the achievement of his need satisfaction.
