Updated definition of brain death in Texas.

In most instances, brain death is established on the basis of straightforward clinical findings in adult patients having suffered head trauma or cerebral hemorrhage. In exceptional instances, including infants or adults having the neurologic criteria with a backdrop other than trauma or hemorrhage, or who are being treated with barbiturate coma, a different diagnostic procedure is necessary. Various considerations in brain death diagnosis in these exceptional circumstances are listed, with an update of ancillary diagnostic procedures. Reasons for avoiding unnecessary delays of diagnosis are underscored.

Relationship between birth order and leadership style for nursery school children.

36 nursery school children were given a revised form of Fiedler's (1967) least preferred co-worker scale designated as the least preferred playmate scale. The purpose was to investigate the relationship between least preferred playmate scores and the birth order of young children. A 2 X 2 contingency table was constructed between birth order (first and later born) and leadership style (high and low). The resulting chi squares were insignificant for the total population and for males. However, for females the results were significant with a higher percentage of firstborns being task-oriented (low score) and a higher percentage of later borns being relation-oriented (high score).

Comparison of external and internal individuals' ability to perceive viewpoints of others.

College undergraduates scoring as internal (6 male and 42 female) and external (14 male and 41 female) on locus of control on Rotter's I-E scale were administered a modified version of Laurendeau and Pinard's Coordination of Perspectives Test. Internals were superior to externals in ability to perceive the viewpoints of others in regard to object arrangements.

A test of the poor leader-member relation cells of the contingency model on elementary school children.

The problem was to investigate the 4 poor leader-membrane relation cells of Fiedler's contingency model on fourth-grade elementary school groups. High and low least-preferred co-worker (LPC) leaders with strong and weak power were compared on structured and unstructured group tasks. When the task was structured, high LPC leaders were more effective than low regardless of position power. For the unstructured task, high LPC leaders were more effective than low for strong position power on 2 of 4 measures used, while low LPC leaders were more effective than high for weak position power on 1 of 4 measures.
