Abstract
The data obtained seem to indicate that annoying behavior in college teachers is rather prevalent. College students seem to vary greatly, however, in their susceptibility to "annoying behavior" in their teachers, the men being generally more actively critical than the women. The position of the annoying trait on the rating scale did not seem to have any influence on the frequency of rating, the form of behavior rated most frequently as very annoying being fifteenth in the list of traits observed. The most frequent very annoying habit reported by both sexes was "rambling in lectures." The most frequently reported slightly annoying habit was "frowning." Sex differences appeared to be more apparent in the response to "slightly annoying behavior" than to "very annoying behavior." Faulty speech habits in general seemed to annoy students most, although habits of facial expression and general posture also ranked high as being annoying.
