The Influence of Personal and Situational Factors on the Leaders Use of Power.

Abstract

The research supports strongly the hypothesis that suggests subjects exposed to assertive films will display more punitive authority than those exposed to non-assertive films. This finding holds for supervisory behavior for both Blacks and Whites. Similarly, whether a supervisor was responding to a racially similar or different student also had a significant effect on behavior. The hypothesis that dealt with social ability was supported for White supervisors but only had marginal effects as that relates to Black supervisors.
