Josh Prince, URCA Assistant to Dr. Ferguson, along with Taylor Smith, and Courtney Miller presented “The Relationship between Autocratic, Democratic and Laissez-Faire Leadership Style Values and Cultural Values” at the Graduate Research Symposium April 2nd at MUC.
From Dr. Ferguson: "The research is part of an ongoing set of projects that began in the year 2000 when I was a Visiting Scholar at the University of California at Berkeley. I have been Visiting Scholar there for a number of years since then, including when [she] was on sabbatical leave in 2007 and [she is] still a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley. My colleague there is Kaiping Peng, a cultural social psychologist. We published some of our research together in 2006 in the journal GROUP DYNAMICS and another article is coming out this month in the journal JOURNAL OF APPLIED SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY. We are showing that leadership styles, as developed by Kurt Lewin and as applied by Rudolf Dreikurs and contemporary Adlerian Psychology, work in the family the same way as they do in any other group (school, work, nations). We are showing that these leadership styles in the family of origin (in which you were raised) have profound influences on young adults (college students). These leadership styles teach children (and later the young adults into which the children develop) a set of values that have wide ramifications. My lab has found that national differences exist in parental leadership styles. Moreover, in modern Asian countries the style is moving toward a Laissez Faire style that is accompanied by increased individualism and competitiveness. Within the United States, regional differences exist in parental leadership styles. This “group dynamic” approach towards parenting differs sharply from the Freudian-based model of Baumrind, whose work does not address the kind of social issues that Lewin and Dreikurs addressed and that work in my lab addresses."

Dr. Nikolay Slavkov | "I had two URCA assistants work with me in Fall 2012 when I was designing experimental stimuli for a pilot project titled The L2 Acquisition of Wh- Dependencies: Linguistic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives which has won STEP funding for fiscal year 2014.
