Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of three variables on students’ descriptions of classroom climate: positive and negative affect for a college class, professor anatomical sex, and student perceptions of professor sexism. Results of several analyses indicated that affect had important consequences for perceptions of climate when the professor was female or male; however, perceptions of sexism were related to descriptions of climate only for male professors.Keywords
