The subjective performance measures were further coded into four classes: Effectiveness: Examples include (a) a rating scale anchored by poor leader and outstanding leader (Day & Stogdill, 1972, p. 355) and (b) performance evaluations of cadets' leadership, given on 20 dimensions such as “delegates authority effectively” and “keeps troops motivated” (Mohr, Rowan, & Reidy, 1978, p. 3). Ability: Examples include (a) ratings of 29 leadership skills such as “training officers/committee members” and “planning club/group activities,” given on scales anchored by excellent and poor (Couch, 1980, pp.…”

Military Leadership Evaluations: Effects of Evaluator Sex, Leader Sex, and Gender Role Attitudes.

“…In an earlier study, Mohr and Downey (1977) reported that female Army officers were evaluated lower by both male and female peers.

None of these studies, however, examined the gender role attitudes of the military personnel.…”
