Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that groups with autocratic leaders showed higher levels of reliance on the leader, critical discontent, and demands for attention. Autocratic leaders tend to exert control over their followers, leading to a more dependent relationship where the followers rely on the leader for direction and decision-making. This can create a sense of frustration and discontent among group members, which can manifest as critical comments and demands for attention. By contrast, democratic and laissez-faire leaders are less likely to generate these types of reactions from their followers.
