STUDY OF REPORTED CEREBRAL DOMINANCE AS IT RELATES TO ADMINISTRATIVE BEHAVIOR
- Date Issued:
- 1983
- Summary:
- The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between brain dominance and administrative style according to the Torrance Your Style of Learning and Thinking Test and the Blake-Mouton Managerial Style Questionnaire. Both instruments were administered to 110 principals in the public school system of Broward County, Florida. A frequency distribution was computed for the respondents. Age, sex, race, experience, and administrative style were analyzed against brain dominance. A chi-square and an ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. The .05 level of significance was used in testing the hypotheses. The following conclusions were based on the analysis of the data: (1) A significant correlation was established between left dominant principals and those having a high concern for task; (2) A significant correlation was established between right dominant principals and those having a high concern for people; (3) The One Way Analysis of Variance showed significance beyond the 5 percent level for the correlations of the variables brain dominance and administrative style; (4) A significant relationship did not exist between the variable sex and brain dominance; (5) A significant relationship was established between race and the variable brain dominance; In summary, this study provided data which indicated that a statistically significant relationship exists between brain dominance and administrative style as measured by the tests involved. Possibilities for future research were outlined.
