In times of crisis because of the COVID-19 outbreak, leadership matters more than ever. Previous research focuses on leaders as charismatic and identity entrepreneurs. Little is known about the effect of the we-referencing language of political speeches (type of narrative) and the context (stability or crisis) of their communication on identity leadership dimensions. This paper reports a 2x2 design that addresses this theoretical lacunae. Factorial multivariate analysis of variance (Two-Way ANOVA) found significant interactions between narrative type and context on leaders’ identity entrepreneurship, charisma, perceived trust and collective helplessness. Hierarchical multiple regression identified predictors of charismatic leadership in context of stability and crisis with the narrative type consistently predicting perceptions of charisma. Significant indirect effects of identity entrepreneurship on charismatic leadership were found via narrative type, collective helplessness and perceived trust. The contextualisation of identity leadership processes and the importance of type of communicated narratives on perceptions and evaluations of leaders especially in times of crisis are discussed.

This study examines the expression of selflessness – the tendency to ignore one’s own needs and serve others’ needs – in Rorschach protocols of women suffering from anorexia nervosa. The protocols of 35 women suffering from anorexia nervosa were compared to 30 protocols of a psychiatric comparison group. A multivariate analysis of variance over five variables (AG, PER, PHR, COP, and GHR) was significant: Anorexic patients showed higher characteristics of selflessness compared to the psychiatric comparison group. These findings contribute to the validation of the Rorschach technique and to the clinical observation of selflessness in anorexic patients, and they emphasize specific characteristics in the treatment of anorexia nervosa patients.

This study used a consumer survey to identify resources and services that are important to farmers’ market (FM) shoppers. The questionnaire was distributed onsite in six FMs in Tennessee, and a total of 506 FM shoppers responded. The most important resources and services in terms of a shopper’s decision to visit a FM are identified as supporting local food, quality, friendly, and diverse vendors, and food origin. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) reveals that convenience and close to home are more important to women; price is more important to younger and lower-income shoppers, while quality, convenience, interaction with farmers/producers, and food origin are more important to older shoppers. Content analysis indicated that FM shoppers were impressed with FM atmosphere and liked the quality, variety, and convenience provided by FMs, but disliked not having clear information such as product labels and websites.

Interactions of attention and verbalization were investigated for effects of self-reported arousal and state-anxiety. Levels of verbalization from silence through talking-without-a-listener to disclosure were compared while self-directed attention was manipulated for sensation versus general thoughts and feelings. Following a stimulus, disclosure of sensations was expected to reduce state anxiety and increase energetic arousal significantly more than disclosure of thoughts. Based on a randomly assigned sample of 120 men, a 3 × 2 × 2 multivariate analysis of variance indicated a significant interaction in the predicted directions. A significant interaction was also found for the 3 × 2 interaction for energetic arousal. For state anxiety means were in the predicted direction. Results indicate that verbalization of sensations is more energizing and calming than silence, while for general thought, silence is more energizing and calming than verbalization. The results suggest efficacy in reframing self-talk to quiet awareness and in communicating sensed distinctions as they emerge.

This paper identifies the leading causes for large variations in the calculated fatigue lives of the hypothetical pitch link experiment of the American Helicopter Society, conducted in cooperation with all U.S. manufacturers of military helicopters. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) is used to show that approximately 85 percent of the variations can be attributed to only two of the five analytical steps involved and the interactions between them. These steps are the method of cycle counting and the amount of S/N curve reduction.

Multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant relationship between student ratings and curriculum area but not between ratings and course format. The technical and practical ramifications of these findings are discussed.

Rivers as barriers to dispersal and past forest refugia are two of the hypotheses proposed to explain the patterns of biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest. It has recently been shown that possible past refugia correspond to bioclimatically different regions, so we tested whether patterns of shared distribution of bird taxa in the Atlantic Forest are 1) limited by the Doce and São Francisco rivers or 2) associated with the bioclimatically different southern and northeastern regions. We catalogued lists of forest birds from 45 locations, 36 in the Atlantic forest and nine in Amazon, and used parsimony analysis of endemicity to identify groups of shared taxa. We also compared differences between these groups by permutational multivariate analysis of variance and identified the species that best supported the resulting groups. The results showed that the distribution of forest birds is divided into two main regions in the Atlantic Forest, the first with more southern localities and the second with northeastern localities. This distributional pattern is not delimited by riverbanks, but it may be associated with bioclimatic units, surrogated by altitude, that maintain current environmental differences between two main regions on Atlantic Forest and may be related to phylogenetic histories of taxa supporting the two groups.
