Having a positive reputation generally yields more social benefits than a negative one. While individuals typically strive for a good reputation, their concern for it varies. This pre-registered study investigates how reputation concerns influence others' social evaluations of a protagonist, particularly in the context of leadership. In this study, participants (N = 363) read profiles of individuals exhibiting either high or low concern for their reputation and rated their suitability for leadership in both competitive and cooperative settings.
Results indicated that in intergroup competitive situations, individuals with low reputation concerns were more likely to be endorsed as leaders compared to those with high reputation concerns (Leadership endorsement scores: M = 4.00, M = 3.23, p < .001, η = 0.09). In contrast, in intergroup cooperative situations, individuals with high reputation concerns were more likely to be endorsed as leaders (M = 3.30, M = 3.76, p < .001, η = 0.04). This study extends previous research on the factors influencing leadership endorsement and provides valuable insights into how individuals are endorsed as leaders across different contexts.
拥有正面声誉通常比负面声誉能带来更多社会效益。虽然个体通常会努力争取良好声誉，但他们对声誉的关注程度各不相同。这项预先注册的研究调查了声誉关注如何影响他人对主角的社会评价，特别是在领导力背景下。在本研究中，参与者（N = 363）阅读了对声誉关注程度高或低的个体简介，并对他们在竞争和合作环境中担任领导的适合性进行评分。
结果表明，在群体间竞争情境中，与声誉关注程度高的人相比，声誉关注程度低的人更有可能被认可为领导者（领导力认可得分：M = 4.00，M = 3.23，p <.001，η = 0.09）。相比之下，在群体间合作情境中，声誉关注程度高的人更有可能被认可为领导者（M = 3.30，M = 3.76，p <.001，η = 0.04）。本研究扩展了先前关于影响领导力认可因素的研究，并为不同情境下个体如何被认可为领导者提供了有价值的见解。
