The processes by which teachers communicate differential performance expectations to different children were investigated through observational study of dyadic contacts between teachers and individual students in four first-grade classrooms. Differential teacher expectations for diffefent children were associated with a variety of interaction measures, although many of these relationships are attributable to objective differences :;n the behavior of the children. However, other differential teacher behavior was observed which is not attributable to objective differences among the children and which is consistent with the hypothesis that differential teacher expectations function as self-fulfilling prophecies. The teachers demanded better performance from those children for whom they had higher expectations and more likely to praise such performance when it was elicited. In cNitrast, they, were more likely to accept,poor performance from students for whom they held low expectations and were less likely to praise good performance from these students, when it occurred, even though it occurred less frequently, /The findings are interpreted as supportive of the hypotheses of Rosenthal and Jacobson concerning teacher expectation effects and as indicative of the behavioral mechanisms invo1ved when teacher expectatibns function as self-fulfilling prophecies. 4111z lommo 1 The authors wish to thank Vern Jones for his assistance in collection of data and Jean Romigh and Betty Johnson for their help in manuscript preparation.
