An analytic procedure is presented for testing the homogeneity of unstandardized regression weight vectors in the condition that the regression weight vectors are correlated. The basic design involves repeated measurements on a dependent variable and a set of independent variables in each of S time periods or situations. Use of the test is illustrated in a study of cross-situational consistency versus cross-situational specificity of the correlates of perceived leader behavior.
