The Public's Image of University Professors.
Stevens, Robert E.; And Others
Journal of Marketing for Higher Education, v4 n1-2 p49-57 1993
In a survey, 150 individuals evaluated 7 professions on prestige, honesty and ethical standards, importance to society, and interesting and challenging nature of occupation. Overall, university professors were rated lower than doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and clergy; the same as lawyers; and higher than bankers. Respondent income, age, and education were unrelated to perceptions. (Author/MSE)
