El análisis de los tres estilos de liderazgo más investigados, es decir, autocrático-democrático, orientado a la tarea-orientado a las relaciones, transformacional-transaccional, sirve como punto de partida de un análisis más profundo de las implicaciones del concepto de ‘estilo de liderazgo’ para el proceso de liderazgo en general y, muy especialmente, como una introducción a la cuestión emergente de las relaciones entre ‘liderazgoy cultura’. Se pidió a noventa estudiantes de psicología que indicaran la similitude percibida en varios pares de items previamente seleccionados que representaban en unos casos un mismo estilo de liderazgo, y en otros, diferentes estilos de liderazgo, y que posteriormente los evaluaran como representativos de un estilo u otro de liderazgo. En una clara muestra de su correcta percepción de cada estilo, los participantes no tuvieron problemas para ajustar correctamente cada ítem a la categoría original ni para hacer la evaluación esperada. La parte final del trabajo explora y discute otras posibilidades de investigación en este dominio.
