Expected Main Results
·
Teacher-Student similarity to correlate with academic
achievement
·
Teacher rated teacher-student similarity correlated to
academic achievement with second grade showing the strongest correlation and
sixth the weakest
·
Report card grade
correlation to teacher-student similarity stronger then the correlations

Expected Replicated Results
·
Attractiveness to correlate with academic achievement
(Alvidrez & Weinstein, 1999: Dusek & Joseph, 1983)
·
Attractiveness correlation with academic achievement
should decrease with time (Dusek & Joseph, 1983).
·
Correlation between attractiveness and teacher-student
similarity as rated by teacher (Chang, Levine, & Benson, 2002: Monin, 2003).
·
Terra Nova scores should correlate with achievement on
report card.
·
Little (Dusek & Joseph, 1983: Kurdek &
Sinclair, 2001) to no (Hoge & Butcher, 1984: Alvidrez & Weinstein,
1999) gender difference in achievement
·
Attractiveness should strongly correlate with
preserved socioeconomic statues (Berry & Landry, 1997: Feingold, 1992:
Feingold, 1988).
