Effects of the Purpose of Rating on Accuracy in Observing Teacher Behavior and Evaluating Teaching Performance.

Murphy, Kevin R.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n1 p45-54 Feb 1984

Results suggest that the purpose affects the way raters process behavioral information without necessarily affecting the general level of rating. (BS)
