Mediation of Interpersonal Expectancy Effects: Counselor's Tone of Voice.

Blanck, Peter David; Rosenthal, Robert

Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n3 p418-26 Jun 1984

In recorded interviews, 10 camp counselors described children they believed to have high social or athletic ability. Judges rated counselors' voice tone as warmer and less hostile when describing children for whom they had high expectations. Less competent counselors were more prone to biasing effects. (Author/BS)
