Data were obtained on a measure of cognitive differentiation from a group of 70 teachers and a group of 66 non-teachers. Teachers were more differentiating in their perceptions of their disliked students and non-teachers were more differentiating in their perceptions of their disliked instructors. As predicted in neither sample were disliked persons significantly more differentiated by females than males. Male non-teachers were more differentiating of both liked and disliked instructors while no such sex difference was found for the teacher group. It was suggested that sex differences occurred when superior persons were being rated. Males are probably more threatened by authority figures (instructors) than are females. Consequently males would be more attentive to the personal characteristics of their instructors. These findings were discussed in relation to the “vigilance” hypothesis suggested by Miller and Bieri (1965) and Irwin, et al. (1967).

This paper examines the relationships between cognitive differentiation and three different methods of influence. A brief summary of cognitive differentiation examined the historical formulation, the organizational applications, and the measures and methods involved. Similarly, a review of organizational influence summarizes the important of influence as well as the organizational and leadership applications of influence. Subjects (N=238) completed copies of the Role Category Questionnaire and the Assessment of Influence Behaviors. Findings suggest that people more cognitively differentiated used more charismatic and team influence, but no more reward/punishment/manipulation influence than did less differentiated subjects. Specific conclusions and implications for leadership addressed.
