Abstract: | The relationships between seating position (professor and student sitting across a desk or at a small conference table) and the professor's sex on subjects' impressions of the professor in a feedback situation were evaluated. Using a 2 × 2 design, 188 student subjects rated a hypothetical professor located in one of two seating positions depicted on a simple line drawing in terms of a number of interpersonal attributes. Significant differences were found for seating position, but effects were not found for either sex of professor or the sex of professor by seating position interaction. |
