[Insert Table 1 here]We calculate separate LSM for each category using the following formula (prepositions are used in the following example) (Ireland & Pennebaker, 2010; Ireland et al., 2011): In this formula, prepsCEO is the percentage of prepositions used by the CEO and preps CFO is the percentage used by the CFO. In the denominator, 0.001 is added to prevent empty sets. The nine category-level language similarity scores are added to yield a composite LSM score. A larger number represents a higher level of LSM between the CEO and the CFO.
