  • Leadership Studies
  • Dietetics

  • To identify correlations between lifestyle styles and professional achievements.
  • To explore the prevalence of both positive and self-defeating behaviors in dietitians.

  • Analyzed scores using scaled circumplex plots and chi-squared analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Dietitians scored highest in positive styles: Affiliative, Humanistic-Helpful, Achievement, and Self-Actualize.
    • Dominant styles included Dependent and Self-Actualize, with means above the 75th percentile of the general population.
    • High scores in positive styles correlated with advanced degrees, publications, research, and leadership positions.
    • High scores in self-defeating styles were linked to lower educational attainment and less research involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Many dietitians possess strong leadership attributes, indicated by high scores in positive lifestyle styles.
    • A significant portion of dietitians exhibit self-defeating dependent behaviors, potentially hindering leadership potential.
    • Further research and targeted interventions may be beneficial for addressing dependent behaviors and enhancing leadership skills in dietitians.
