Abstrakt: This study examined relationships of teachers’ temperaments with students’ perceptions of their teachers. Self-report surveys of 97 teachers and 1130 students across seven disciplines were collected. Instructors completed measures of extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism. Students completed measures of teacher credibility (competence, caringgoodwill, and trustworthiness) and teacher evaluations. Results indicated a significant positive relationship of extroversion with all dimensions of crediblity and teacher evaluation. A significant negative relationship between trustworthiness and psychoticism was also observed. The results are interpreted employing a communibiological perspective The observed results are believed to be a function of elements which are a part of a larger causal system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
