Impact of Teachers' Dogmatism and Pessimistic Stereotype on the Effect of EMR-Class Label on Teachers' Judgments in Finland.
Moberg, Sakari
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v30 n2 p141-50 Jun 1995
Finnish special-education teachers (n=135) rated five sentences written by an 11-year-old student either labeled or not labeled as being in a special class for educable mentally retarded (EMR) students. Results indicated that the EMR label diminished teachers' ratings and that teacher dogmatism and pessimistic stereotype correlated negatively with ratings and specified label effects. (Author/DB)
