The present study is an attempt to verify if authoritarianism and intolerance of ambiguity (IA) are correlates of preference for authoritarian-democratic leadership. California F-scale as a measure of authoritarianism, Budzer's scale as a test of IA and a `leadership preference scale' (LPS) developed by the investigator to assess indiividual's preference far authoritarian or democratic style of leadership, were administered to a randomly drawn sample of 400 under-graduate male students. The hypothesis proposed for verification was that preference for democratic type of leadership would bear substantial negative relationship with (a} authoritarianism and (b) intolerance of ambiguity. The results confirm the hypothesis formulated. Comparisons of LP-scores obtained by extreme decile groups on the two personality variables also lend support to the correlational findings and are in keeping with the theoretical predictions.
