In this study,participants perceived the same job candidate to display more leader qualitites when his potential group was a troubled one rather than a tranquil one. They described this person more favorably as a leader and falsely recognized him as having performed more leadership - consistent and fewer leadership - irrelevant behaviours in a test of recognition memory. Using Jacoby’s process - dissociation procedure, the author discovered that unconscious (rather than conscious) memory processes completely mediated this context effect - a mediation indicative of either postconscious or goal -dependent context effects in leadership perception. Previous studies have demonstrated that context affects perceptions of incumbent leaders. This study demonstrates that context also can affect perceptions of potential leaders, with a troubled context magnifying those qualities that are consistent with individuals’ implicit theories and romanticized conceptions of leadership.
