Many critical and unexpected situations are handled by people that have never met. In the literature, development of immediate trust has been identified as a prerequisite for such temporary groups and leadership to function well. Limited experimental research has studied what leadership stimulates immediate trust between strangers. The present study investigate how four leadership styles, combining autocratic or democratic leadership behavior with low or high emotional stability, is related to immediate trust in a leader displayed through a 45-s video vignette of a car accident. A sample of 280 adults, randomly assigned to one of four conditions (1, autocratic/stable; 2, autocratic/unstable; 3, democratic/stable; 4, democratic/unstable) rated immediate trust after watching the vignette. The results show that autocratic and emotionally stable leaders were on average rated higher on immediate trust than all other leadership styles, after controlling for generalized trust.
许多危急和意外情况是由素未谋面的人来处理的。在文献中，迅速建立信任已被确定为这类临时团队和领导力良好运作的先决条件。有限的实验研究探讨了何种领导力能促进陌生人之间迅速建立信任。本研究调查了四种领导风格，即将专制或民主领导行为与低或高情绪稳定性相结合，与通过一段45秒车祸视频片段所展现出的对领导者的即时信任之间的关系。280名成年人的样本被随机分配到四个条件之一（1. 专制/稳定；2. 专制/不稳定；3. 民主/稳定；4. 民主/不稳定），在观看视频片段后对即时信任进行评分。结果表明，在控制了一般信任之后，专制且情绪稳定的领导者在即时信任方面的平均评分高于所有其他领导风格。
