Leadership Profile
Follow the Leader (Leadership Profile) Choose a leader from the public or non-profit sector – this must be an individual with whom you have a personal leader/follower relationship.
Do not choose a “public figure” unless you have personally worked for that person. Example: do not ask to follow Michelle Obama unless you have personally worked for the former First Lady.
Students who are not MPA majors may request to follow a private-sector leader.
“Follow” the leader and apply leadership concepts learned in the course to analyze the leader and his/her leadership.
In your observations, consider the following: What “type” of leader is this individual?
The leadership theories, styles, and approaches studied, and reflect on your leader from these perspectives.
The leadership traits, skills, and behaviors studied and discuss your leader from these perspectives.
Write a paper that details the individual’s leadership style, traits, personal and professional accomplishments, indicators of ethical leadership, and any other pertinent information you choose to include.
Prepare your paper according to the following specifications: Use 12-point Times New Roman, one-inch margins, double-spaced 1750 words minimum, approximately five pages
Threat vs. no threat can impact the categorization of White-Hispanic targets
Instructions
Assignment: In this study, we are interested in investigating how threat vs. no threat can impact the categorization of White-Hispanic targets differently for White and Hispanic participants. You must write a research paper on the effect of threat (IV: threat vs. no threat manipulation from Ho et al., 2013) on White and Hispanic participants’ (IV: White participants vs. Hispanic participants) categorization of Hispanic-White Biracials (DV: To what degree do you consider Hispanic/White biracial people to be a part of your racial group?). The data has already been collected.
Hypotheses: We hypothesis that there will be a main effect of condition, such that participants in the threat condition will categorize Hispanic-White Biracials as less a part of their racial ingroup than participants in the control (i.e., no threat) condition. We also hypothesize a main effect of participant race, such that White participants will categorize Hispanic-White Biracials as less a part of their racial ingroup than Hispanic Participants.
Finally, we predict a condition x participant race interaction. Specifically, we hypothesize that White participants in the threat condition will categorize Hispanic-White Biracials as less ingroup than White participants in the no threat condition. For Hispanic participants, we hypothesize there will be no difference in categorization of Hispanic-White biracials between the threat and no threat conditions.
Formatting: All parts of your manuscript should be double-spaced with standard “1” margins. You also need to use the header option on your word processor to give your manuscript a running head and page numbers. Please refer to the APA style guide template to ensure your paper is APA format.
You will be primarily graded on the clarity of your writing and your ability to adhere to APA style.
Your paper should consist of the following parts:
Title Page: See p. 163 in the textbook for more information and p. 169 for an example.
Abstract: See p. 170 in the textbook for more information and p. and 178 for an example.
Introduction: This should be about 4-6 paragraphs. See pp. 178-179 in the textbook for more information and p. 171 for an example. Remember to 1) introduce the research question or problem, 2) review the relevant research on the topic, and 3) state your specific hypotheses and explain why they make sense given the literature you reviewed earlier.
Here is a simple way of structuring your introduction:
- Start the paper by broadly describing the research topic.
- In the next few paragraphs, provide the background literature on the topic; be sure to include key theories and findings.
- In the next few paragraphs you should transition to your study and set forth your hypotheses along with a brief justification for your hypotheses based on the background literature from the previous paragraph.
Method: You should use subheadings, such as participants, procedure, and materials, even though they will be very brief. See p. 179-180 in the textbook for more information and pp. 172-173 for an example.
Results: You need to report the results of your experiment (main effects and interaction). Begin by restating your hypotheses one at a time, and reporting whether the data supports your hypothesis or not. We will go over the results of the study in lecture and in section.
Discussion: In 3-5 paragraphs discuss 1) whether or not the results support your hypothesis (make sure to restate your hypotheses), 2) what the implications of your research are for our understanding of the issue being studied, 3) some of the limitations of your study along with any alternative explanations for your results, and suggestions for future research.
References: This should start on a new page, and should include at least 6 references (most likely more than 6; remember that every claim in your paper should be cited from an academic source).
