Effects of Student Race and Physical Attractiveness on Teachers' Judgments of Transgressions.
Marwit, Karen L.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n6 p911-15 Dec 1978
Student and practicing teachers rated severity of classroom misbehaviors ascribed to Black or White attractive or unattractive children. Following student teaching, ratings of Black children's transgressions increased in severity, and ratings of White children's transgressions remained the same. Practicing teachers were affected by student attractiveness but not by student race. (Author/RD)
