Answer to Question 1

A, D

Answer to Question 2

Research on emergent leadership identifies some positive communication behaviors associated with leader emergence: speaking up in meetings, being well informed, being a good listener and seeking out others' ideas, initiating new ideas, and being firm but not rigid. At the same time, when men and women engage in these behaviors, they are perceived differently by group members. In Watson and Hoffman's 2004 study, men and women were seen as equally
influential, but women were rated lower on leadership and likability. Depending on the group
and task, women and men may not have equal opportunity to emerge as group leaders.
