This study found that many dietitians exhibit positive leadership traits like affiliation and achievement. However, a notable number also display self-defeating dependent behaviors, impacting their professional development.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Leadership Studies
  • Dietetics

Background:

  • Leadership development is crucial in professional fields.
  • Understanding behavioral patterns can inform leadership training.
  • Dietitians are increasingly taking on leadership roles.

Purpose of the Study:

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

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Life Styles Inventory--Level 1 (LSI--Level 1) to measure 12 lifestyle styles.
  • Surveyed 893 dietitians attending leadership seminars between 1986-1989.

  • 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.
