Abstract | The purpose of this investigation was to describe behaviors observed as comprising leadership contention and gender differences in groups. As defined in this study, leadership contention differs from leadership in that it is comprised of behaviors individuals derive from their beliefs about what leaders do and is also specifically concerned with a developmental process through time. Following a review of the literature which proved to be inadequate in providing logically valid hypotheses, the next step in the investigation was the analysis of communicative behaviors of three groups of five people recorded on video tape during 4-hour periods. The bulk of the study is devoted to explaining the logical paradoxes encountered in studying leadership contention and gender differences and to demonstrating the role of the researcher's socialization in his or her construction of the group under investigation. The study concludes with a brief description of an alternative way of approaching subject matter so that paradoxes created by researcher socialization can be employed to discover new and fruitful ways to investigate and construct social reality.
