Abstract

An experiment examined the relationship between authoritarianism and managerial assessment of a person designated as a medically controlled schizophrenic. Participants rated a male applicant on both a candidate appraisal form and an affective attitudes scale. Half the participants saw background information and a videotaped interview describing the applicant as having left work for 6 months to receive psychiatric treatment for schizophrenia. He now was taking medication and doing well. Half the participants received background and interview information indicating that the candidate was out of work for 6 months due to a business slowdown. Participants high in authoritarianism who viewed the candidate as schizophrenic gave lower candidate appraisal ratings ( p<.01) and expressed more negative affective attitudes ( p<.01) than did other participants.

Abstract

News briefs are presented relating to the topic of business communication. One brief discusses alpha personalities in the corporation. According to executive coaches Kate Ludeman and Eddie Erlandson, three-fourths of corporate executives are alpha types. The problem with this kind of personality is a lack of communication skills which can negatively affect the entire organization. A similar brief discusses a survey in which it is shown that dictatorial management practices top the list of "don'ts." Another brief states that U.S. professional communicators are the highest paid in the world.
