The pedagogical literature offers advice for effective management of difficult student behaviors, but there is little acknowledgement of the negative feelings teachers may develop toward the students who need managing. The current research examined college teachers' (N = 364) intense dislike of students. Intense dislike occurred among 47% of teachers. Students' attitudes and personality traits were the most common reasons for dislike. Negative emotions and extra work were the most severe effects of dislike, and teachers believed that maintaining professionalism, standing by policy, and consulting with peers were the most effective ways to manage dislike.
