Abstract | This study investigated the relationship between students' motives to communicate (i.e., relational, functional, participatory, excuse making, and sycophantic) with their instructors and perceived instructor credibility, attractiveness, and homophily. 150 undergraduate students (85 men, 64 women, one did not indicate sex) enrolled at a large Mid-Atlantic university completed the Student Motives to Communicate Scale, the Measure of Source Credibility Scale, the revised Measure of Interpersonal Attraction Scale, and the revised Measure of Homophily scale. Analysis indicated that the functional motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor character and caring. Moreover, the relational motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor social and physical attractiveness; the functional motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor task and social attractiveness; the participatory motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor task, social, and physical attractiveness; and the sycophantic motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor social and physical attractiveness. In addition, the relational motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor attitude and background homophily, the participatory motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor attitude homophily, and the sycophantic motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor attitude and background homophily. Also, the excuse-making motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor social attractiveness and attitude homophily. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided). |
