 | | Results indicated that perceived instructor affinity seeking is negatively correlated with perceived instructor verbal aggressiveness, significant negative relationships exist between perceived instructor affinity seeking and perceived instructor use of 10 specific types of verbally aggressive messages, and instructors were perceived to use all 10 specific types of verbally aggressive messages infrequently. |
 | | In the college classroom, verbally aggressive instructors are perceived as unresponsive (Myers, 1998), unfriendly and inattentive (Myers and Rocca, 2000b), lacking in nonverbal immediacy (Rocca and McCroskey, 1999), lacking credibility (Martin, Weber, and Burant, 1997; Myers, 2001; Schrodt, 2003), and engaging in inappropriate classroom communication behavior (Martin et al., 1997). |
 | | Low frequency of a verbally aggressive message was defined by counting the percentage of responses in the “0” and “1” categories, and high frequency of a verbally aggressive message was defined by counting the percentage of responses in the “3” and “4” categories. |
