Abstract

In higher education, Student Rating of Instructors (SRIs) are used to measure “teaching effectiveness.” Richmond and colleagues (2015) indicated the strongest predictor of SRI scores, was professor-student rapport. The current study replicated and extended Richmond’s (2015) work by examining the match between professor and student levels of extroversion.
