“…Students of misbehaving instructors perceive their instructors as less credible (Banfield, Richmond, & McCroskey, 2006;Teven, 2007); they also report lower affect for their teachers (Teven, 2007); resist more (Goodboy & Bolkan, 2009); evaluate instructors negatively (Schrodt, 2003;Wanzer & McCroskey, 1998); are less satisfied with communication (Goodboy & Bolkan, 2009); and are less motivated to communicate for relational, participatory, excuse-making, and sycophancy reasons (Goodboy, Myers, & Bolkan, 2010). Students of misbehaving teachers are less motivated (Christophel & Gorham, 1995;Goodboy & Bolkan, 2009;Gorham & Christophel, 1992;Gorham & Millette, 1997;Myers, 2002), and this finding has been validated cross-culturally (Zhang, 2007).…”
