    Leadership in Dangerous Times: Life-History Strategy and Environmental Condition Affect Preferences for Dominant and Prestigious Leaders

    Dominance and prestige, as two distinct status-attaining qualities, are present in modern-day leaders at various levels of social hierarchies to various degrees. From an evolutionary perspective, we speculate that such leadership qualities are implicitly linked to the leadership preferences of followers in the environments where they are more effective or necessary. Moreover, individuals’ life-history strategy might moderate the effect of some contextual factors, such as environmental danger, on leadership preferences of dominant versus prestigious leaders. We proposed three hypotheses. First, humans should associate dominant leadership with danger, and associate prestigious leadership with safety (H1). Secondly, individual differences in leadership preference should reflect individuals’ life-history strategies such that those with fast life-history strategies should consider dominance-based leadership more positively than those with slow life-history strategies (H2). Thirdly, the associations between fast life-history strategy and preference for dominant leaders should be stronger in dangerous situations than in situations without danger (H3). We conducted three studies to test the aforementioned hypotheses. Specifically, Study 1a used an Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998) task to assess the relative strength of the implicit association between leadership qualities (dominance versus prestige) and situational contexts (danger versus safety). This allowed us to examine whether there is a general association between dominance (prestige) and danger (safety). In Study 1b, another IAT task was devised to examine the link between leadership qualities and subjective evaluations (positive versus negative). We also examined whether the strength of the IAT effects in both Studies 1a and 1b correlates with participants’ self-reported life-history strategy and socioeconomic status. Finally, Study 2 assessed participants’ leadership preferences and expectations in response to four hypothetic scenarios after priming participants with danger or control conditions using an imagination procedure. This study also measured participants’ life-history strategy, which is seen as a potential moderator of the effects of situational danger on their leadership evaluations. The results showed that (1) participants implicitly associated danger with dominance, and safety with prestige (Study 1a); (2) the relative strength of the implicit association between positive evaluation and prestige is positively correlated with participants’ slow life-history strategy (Study 1b). In a third experiment (Study 2), we found that self-reported life-history strategy also moderated the effects of experimentally manipulated danger on leadership preferences. The association between dangerous environments and dominant leadership preference was stronger for participants with fast life-history strategies than those with slow life-history strategies

    DataSheet_1_Reduced Reward Responsiveness in Women With Moderate - to - Severe Premenstrual Syndrome: Evidence From a Probabilistic Reward Task.docx

    No full text
    Nearly 50% of women of reproductive age worldwide experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Women with PMS exhibit low positive affect and low frontal electroencephalography asymmetry scores, both of which are associated with reward processing. These findings suggest that women with PMS may exhibit deficiencies in reward processing. A probabilistic reward task based on signal detection approach was used to assess reward responsiveness in 30 women with moderate-to-severe PMS and 31 controls without PMS. The results revealed that in the late luteal phase, the women with moderate-to-severe PMS exhibited lower response bias and lower hit rate toward more frequently rewarded stimuli (rich stimuli) than the controls. By contrast, the response bias and hit rate did not differ between the two groups in the follicular phase. The group differences still remained after controlling for anhedonic symptoms. Furthermore, trial-by-trial probability analyses revealed that women with moderate-to-severe PMS exhibited a trend of having a higher miss rate for rich stimuli than the controls. In particular, when a rich stimulus was preceded by an infrequently rewarded stimulus (a rewarded lean stimulus), participants in the PMS group exhibited a trend for higher miss rate than those in the control group in the late luteal and follicular phases. However, group differences in the probability analyses were nonsignificant after controlling for anhedonic symptoms. These results provide preliminary evidence that women with moderate-to-severe PMS exhibit dysfunctional reward responsiveness and impaired ability to modulate their behavior as a function of prior reinforcement.</p
