The "Teacher's Pet" Phenomenon, Students' Perceptions of Teachers' Differential Behavior, and Students' Morale.

Babad, Elisha

Journal of Educational Psychology, v87 n3 p361-74 Sep 1995

The relationships among the teacher's pet phenomenon, students' perceptions of teachers' differential behavior, and students' morale were investigated in 80 Israeli upper elementary classrooms. The intensity of the teacher's pet phenomenon was related to perceived teachers' differential behavior, which, in turn, was negatively related to student morale. (SLD)
