"Identify the independent and the dependent variables andindicate whether each is quantitavie or qualitative innautre"
Rubovits and Maehr(1973) were interested in the effect ofteahcers' expectancies on their behavior toward students. Femaleundergraduates who were enrolled in a teacher training class wereasked to prepared a lesson for four seventh-and eighth-gradestudents. Just before meeting with the students, each teacher wastold that two of the students were "gifted" and had high IQs,whereas the other two were "not gifted" and possessed averageintelligence. In reality, all children were about equal inability, and the labels were assigned in an arbitrary manner. theteacheres were then observed during a 40 minuted period while theyinteracted with the four student. Rubovits and Maehr measured thenumbers of times the teacher interacted with each student. Theaverage number of interactions were then compared for students whowere labeled "gifted" versus those who were labeled "notgifted."
