|a This study investigated education majors’ perceptions of adolescent males based on their ethnicity, walking style, and verbal expression. More specifically, this study examined the interaction effects between student ethnicity (African American and White), walking style (stroll and standard), and verbal response style (standard and slang), on education majors’ ratings of student learning, behavior, the need for special education services, and positive or negative attributes. A questionnaire judging learning, behavior, the need for special education and an adapted version of the Adjective Checklist (Gough & Heilbrun, 1983) were used immediately after the participants watched a short video in which the independent variables were manipulated. One hundred and nine education majors attending a private university participated in this study. Results indicated that, overall, verbal expression was the most influential variable that affected participants’ perceptions of students having behavioral problems, needing special education services, and having positive or negative attributes. Students who spoke standard English, rather than slang, were perceived as less likely to have behavior problems, less likely to need special education services, and less likely to be described by participants using negative attributes. No differences were found in the perception of students having learning problems in the different video conditions. Of those students who were perceived as needing special education services, the category selected most frequently was Emotional/Behavior Disorder (EBD). |
