Reinterpreting Seaver's (1973) Study of Teacher Expectancies as a Regression Artifact.
Reichardt, Charles S.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n2 p231-36 Apr 1985
The results of Seaver's (1973) quasi-experimental study of the effects of teacher expectancies on student achievement based on older sibling performance are reinterpreted as a regression artifact. That this rival explanation has not been recognized in the literature is probably due to the effects of researcher expectancies. (Author/BS)
