Details

There is some evidence that students tend to pick courses of lecturers they perceive to be enthusastic and good communicators. In a fascinating study, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and his colleagues (Chamorro-Premuzic, Furnham, Christopher, Garwood, & Martin, 2008) tested the hypothesis that students tend to like lecturers who are like themselves. The authors measured students' own personalities using a very well-established measure (the NEO-FFI) which measures five fundamental personality traits: neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness. Students also completed a questionnaire in which they were given descriptions (e.g., 'warm: friendly, warm, sociable, cheerful, affectionate, outgoing') and asked to rate how much they wanted to see this in a lecturer from -5 (I don't want this characteristic at all) through 0 (the characteristic is not important) to +5 (I really want this characteristic in my lecturer). The characteristics were the same as those measured by the NEO-FFI. As such, the authors had a measure of how much a student had each of the five core personality characteristics, but also a measure of how much they wanted to see those same characteristics in their lecturer. These are the data from that study. The data contains the following variables:
