N2 - Charismatic leaders are often thought to emerge in times of crisis. This study examined the effects of evaluation stress and situational crisis on task performance and ratings of charismatic behavior, as assessed by outside coders on Conger and Kanungo's C-K Scale. Fifty-five three-member groups were randomly assigned a leader and asked to complete a project-planning task. Half of the groups were randomly assigned to a stress condition, and all groups underwent a midsession crisis intervention. Results shewed that leaders in the stress condition were perceived as significantly more charismatic than leaders in the no-stress condition, although ratings converged after the crisis manipulation.
