Explain how the required length of peer interaction affects peer assessment.
What will be an ideal response?
It appears that the validity of peer nominations for predicting leadership performance develops very early in the life of a group and reaches a plateau after no more than 3 weeks for intensive groups. Useful validity develops in only a matter of days. Thus, peer nominations possibly could be used to identify managerial talent if the competitive atmosphere of such a context does not induce excessive bias. We hasten to add, however, that in situations where peers do not interact intensively on a daily basis (e.g., life insurance agents), peer ratings are unlikely to be effective predictors for individuals with less than 6 months’ experience (Mayfield, 1970, 1972).
