Order Description
In a study (Hendrix, K., 1998, Journal of Black Studies, 28, pp. 738-763), the author
questioned the reception of cues professors send out to students about their credibility and the
manner in which students recognize and interpret those cues (through oral communication)
based on the race of their professors. See attached item for reference

Examine and answer the following questions:
A. What verbal and nonverbal communication cues do professors believe lead their
students to perceive them as credible? What cues exhibited by professors lead
students to perceive them as credible?
B. When the professor’s race is not the same as the majority of the students in the class,
what verbal and nonverbal cues does the professor view as leading to student
perceptions of credibility? What cues do the students view as leading to perceptions
of credibility?
C. Hendrix also arranged one-hour meetings with students who agreed to be interviewed
and asked them the following questions: Is the professor credible—why or why not?
What does it mean to say a professor is credible? What verbal and nonverbal
communication cues does the professor give to exhibit or convey credibility? What
words are the same as credible? What was your first impression of your professor the
first day you came to class?
