Dear members, I have a problem:
in a leadership class in another school, respondents to a survey have answered open-ended questions asking them to name 5 leaders (actually, three sets of 5). The respondents then formed groups of 4-5 persons in each, and developed new lists, this time as a group. So now for each person, there is a list of their answers and a list of group answers. How would you approach getting a measure of some dependancy of the group answers and the individual answers? I thought to look for %% of agreement, that is how many respondents in the group name a certain leader (named as a group) individually. But the problem then, the lists can vary wildly, and might be altogether different not even having any common names, or remarkably similar. There are several pieces of knowledge one could gain from comparing group and individual lists, for example, if one member of the group disproportionately swayed the group opinion; if some majority rules were used, etc. I really appreciate any pointers. Thank you very much, Zinaida Taran, PhD Assistant professor Department of Management and Marketing School of Business Administration St. John Fisher College ztaran-at-sjfc-dot-edu . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
