Accuracy in perceiving emergent task and socioemotional leadership in small groups was studied. One hundred and forty-nine undergraduates viewed a videotape of a group and guessed the order in which the group would rank its members on five leadership test items. Tapes of six groups were used. Subjects were individually and collectively accurate beyond chance. Subjects' accuracy correlated .82 with measures of agreement among the stimulus-group members' rankings of each other. The data suggested that the perception of task and socioemotional leaderships are independent. Subjects were accurate in perceiving both task and socioemotional leadership independently of their accuracy in perceiving the group members' rates of participation.1 This article is based on a thesis presented by the first author to the faculty of the University of Delaware in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a master's degree. Some of the data presented in this article have already been reported by Stein (1971).
