Resource Allocation As A Function Of Leadership Titles And Myers-Briggs Typology, David C. Leonard Jul 1990

Resource Allocation As A Function Of Leadership Titles And Myers-Briggs Typology, David C. Leonard

Master's Theses

In recent years, research efforts have attempted to identify variables that may moderate leaders' decision making styles. Variables that have been identified include divisibility of the resource, social scripts, and type of resource being divided. This study attempted to replicate these findings and examine the influence of personality variables as defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Scale.

Results were generally nonsignificant. However, the thinking and feeling typologies were correlated …

Multidimensional Assessment Of Children's Coping With Daily Stressful Events, Linda Elizabeth Pattee

Master's Theses

The purpose of the present study was to complete a multi-dimensional assessment of children's coping.
