Studied the relation between foremen's leadership attitudes, as measured by the Leadership Opinion Questionnaire, and the skill level of their work groups. Ss were 243 foremen and 66 general foremen in a manufacturing plant. Results indicate that the skill level of the foremen's work group was significantly related (p < .01) to his structure attitude but not to his consideration attitude toward these workers.
Groups of 24 6's each were trained on one of four tracking conditions resulting from the combination of two repeating input functions, step and ramp, and two display modes, pursuit and compensatory. After 4 days of training, tracking conditions were interchanged between subgroups of 5s. Performance during both training and transfer was better for pursuit tracking than for compensatory tracking, and for the ramp function relative to the step function. Most importantly, however, cues derived both from a constant input function and from a constant display mode were shown to be effectively transferred. The results are discussed in terms of the differential roles of visual and proprioceptive cues and in terms of motor control theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
