Different strokes for different folks? Influence tactics by Asian-American and Caucasian-American managers

This article reports an empirical study of Asian-American managers' use of influence tactics with superiors and subordinates compared to a group of Caucasian-American managers. Comparisons also were made between self-reported and target-reported influence behaviors of these managers and the extent to which the managers used similar influence tactics with both superiors and subordinates. Interestingly, this study found only minor differences between influence behaviors of Asian-American managers and Caucasian-American managers. Second, this study found differences between self-reported influence tactics and those same tactics as seen by the targets. Finally, the managers studied here, both Asian-American and Caucasian-American, used different influence tactics with superiors as compared to subordinates. The minor differences, with less than 3% of the variance due to managers' different ethnic backgrounds, suggest that differences found in cross-cultural studies may not be generalizable to different ethnic groups within one country.

Theory Sapiens and Theory Strivicus: Motivation as Different Strokes for Different Folks

It is now obvious that the solution to managerial problems of motivation is at hand. However, documentation of the events leading to this condition has never been properly formalised and clearly stated. The purpose of this short paper is to state this matter clearly.

Different Strokes for Different Folks: Jung's Typology and Structured Experiences

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the evaluations of 175 students differentiated by Carl Jung's psychotypology when they were involved in either a session of nonverbal communication experiences or a session of fantasy experiences. The significant findings were as follows: intuitive types preferred the two experiences more than the thinking types; extraverts preferred the two experiences more than the introverts; and the feeling types preferred the nonverbal communication experiences more than the fantasy experiences. Thus, it seems evident that some of the Jungian psychological types prefer different structured experiences.

Discipline and Classroom Management: Different Strokes for Different Folks

There are as many ap proaches to classroom management as there are teachers and, like teachers, some are more effective than others. On the following pages this author reviews some of the major schools of thought related to disciplinary techniques.

A Holistic Model for Drug Treatment Evaluation

Increasingly, and appropriately, drug dependency is being viewed as a problem with people rather than simply a problem with chemicals (Treffert, 1971). Comprehensive, multi-dimensional, “different strokes for different folks” approaches have largely replaced single entity, uni-dimensional programs (Glasscote, et al., 1972). As evident and as commendable as that movement and direction is in the treatment area, evaluation efforts are still locked into the use of a single, uni-dimensional, and solitary measure—the presence or absence of drug use or abuse following discharge. If it makes sense to look beyond drugs in treatment, then it makes sense as well to look beyond the return to drug use or abuse as the sole measure of effectiveness of drug programs. This paper describes a holistic, multi-dimensional, evaluation approach to measuring effectiveness of drug treatment programs which does not ignore, but does not focus entirely upon, the return to drug use or abuse as the sole measure of effectiveness. This evaluation tool has been in use for twelve (12) months in the Tellurian Community, a 38 bed residential treatment program for the seriously dependent drug abuser.

Alternative Path Analytic Models of Student-Teacher Influence: The Implications of Different Strokes for Different Folks

Using data from a study of black adolescents and their teachers, as a heuristic device, this researcher examined the empirical implications of five causal models which reflected four common notions concerning the social influence processes assumed to characterize the student-teacher role relationships. These models included both uni-directional and bi-directional notions of social influence. The results from these models were extremely diverse and were capable of generating radically different interpretations. This situation cast doubt on previous unconditional substantive interpretations made in the literature and suggested the need for progressive explorations of complex models on comparable data sets.
