Student/Instructor Attitude Similarity, Student Ratings, and Course Performance.
Abrami, Philip C.; Mizener, Deborah A.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n6 p693-702 Dec 1985
The present study addressed the validity of student ratings of instructional effectiveness by exploring the relations among student ratings, course performance, and the perceived attitude similarity of students and their instructors. Findings fail to support the claim that perceived attitude similarity is a substantial source of bias in student ratings. (Author/LMO)
