Abstract

The empirical model tested in this study examined the effects of teacher communication style (as perceived by either teachers or students) on students' affect and behavioral commitment in college classes. Additionally, the model posited a mediational function for teachers ’ and students' trait and state communication apprehension for perceptions of teacher style, affect, and behavioral commitment.
