I see many scales for assessing one's susceptibility to social influence but am having trouble finding one that assesses how influential on others one believes themself to be.
I have never come across a scale that would assess one’s self-perception of their influence on others. I think this idea should begin with the question: “Is it possible to be truly objective when assessing self-perception of an aspect of personality, the importance of which is based in ego?” Assessing the perception of influence of another is a fairly routine survey.
T. Phillip Madison While there are numerous scales available for assessing an individual's susceptibility to social influence, such as the Asch Conformity Scale or the Compliance Gaining Strategies Scale, there appears to be a gap in standardized scales specifically designed to assess self-perceived influence on others. However, it's possible to adapt existing scales or develop new measures to assess this construct. Below are some suggestions for creating a measurement scale for assessing self-perception of influence on others:
By following these steps, researchers can develop a standardized scale for assessing self-perceived influence on others, filling a notable gap in the existing literature on social influence assessment. This scale can contribute to our understanding of individual differences in perceived influence and inform research on leadership, persuasion, and interpersonal dynamics.
T. Phillip Madison I was also thinking about the use of Emotional Intelligence tools to access this... I was inclined about using SCALE or ESAP.
