Since leadership in formal and informal high school activities is one possible indicator of positive social adjustment among adolescents, it is worthwhile to better understand why certain adolescents become leaders and others do not. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between leadership behavior (dependent variable) and self-esteem, locus of control, family structure, and career goals. The participants were divided into a leadership group (n = 79) and a nonleadership (comparison) group (n = 124). Adolescents in the leadership group tended to be higher in internal locus of control, to live in a two-parent family structure, and to have more prestigious career goals. There was no significant difference between the two groups in level of self-esteem, although those in the leadership group with higher self-esteem also tended to have higher career goals.
由于在高中正式和非正式活动中担任领导角色是青少年积极社会适应的一个可能指标，因此更深入地了解为什么某些青少年成为领导者而另一些人没有是很有价值的。本研究旨在调查领导行为（因变量）与自尊、控制点、家庭结构和职业目标之间的关系。参与者被分为领导组（n = 79）和非领导（对照）组（n = 124）。领导组中的青少年在内控点方面往往更高，生活在双亲家庭结构中，并且有更有声望的职业目标。两组在自尊水平上没有显著差异，尽管领导组中自尊较高的人也往往有更高的职业目标。
