本研究通过区域间冲突与合作模拟博弈（SIRC2），探讨了领导职能在群体间谈判中的作用。作为社会心理学课程的一部分，151名本科生参加了这项研究。本研究假设在群体间情境中存在四个领导因素：群体内绩效、群体内维护、群体外谈判绩效和群体外关系维护。然而，根据因子分析，群体内绩效和群体外绩效的功能合并为同一类别，无法独立区分。此外，本研究提供的证据表明，群体间沟通的机会和每个群体可用的资源数量可以促进这些领导功能。这项研究还发现了领导职能和团队成果之间的联系。在同质性和面临共同生存问题的群体中，群体内/群体外绩效函数促进了群体目标的实现。另一方面，在具有不同角色且自给自足的群体中，群体内维持功能促进了群体目标的实现。此外，在群体间情境下，群体外关系维持功能对群体目标实现也很重要。这些结果可以用路径目标理论和费德勒的权变理论来解释。
This research investigated the role of leadership functions in a context of intergroup negotiation by using a simulation game of inter-regional conflict and cooperation (SIRC2). As a part of their social psychology course, 151 undergraduate students participated. It was hypothesized that there are four leadership factors in an intergroup context: in-group performance, in-group maintenance, out-group negotiation performance, and out-group relation maintenance. According to a factor analysis, however, the functions of in-group performance and out-group performance merged into the same category and could not be differentiated independently. Moreover, this research provided evidence that opportunities for intergroup communication and the amount of resources available to each group can facilitate these leadership functions. This study also found links between leadership functions and group outcomes. In a group with members who were homogeneous and facing common survival problems, the in-group/out-group performance function facilitated the achievement of the group goal. On the other hand, in a group with members with different roles, and who were self-sufficient for survival, the in-group maintenance function facilitated the achievement of the group goal. Moreover, in the intergroup context, the out-group relationship maintenance function was also important for group goal attainment. These results were interpreted using the path–goal theory and Fiedler's contingency theory.
