Table 3.1 Observers’ perceptions of leadership-related processes in the BBC Prison Study (data from Haslam & Reicher, 2007a)

  Guards Prisoners
Measure Day 2 Day 6 Day 2 Day 6
Group identity 3.80 2.30 2.50 5.60
Leadership 3.60 1.90 2.70 5.80
Group efficacy 4.00 1.80 2.70 5.50

Note: As the study progresses (from Day 2 to Day 6), the Guards’ group identity declines along with their leadership and efficacy as a group. Over the same period, the Prisoners’ shared identity, leadership, and group efficacy all increase.
