Rude Students Mostly Likely To Target Young, Female Profs: Study

In a study on disrespectful classroom behavior -- think sleeping, texting and talking -- researchers found that young, inexperienced and female professors are most likely to be on the receiving end of such malfeasance.

More than 300 professors of evenly mixed gender responded to the study.
The Chronicle of Higher Education has more:

Only about 16 percent of the faculty members surveyed reported not having experienced student incivility at all, but that aggregate figure masked a wide gulf between men and women in terms of the likelihood of their recalling such incidents. When the researchers broke their data down by gender, they found that 24 percent of men, and just 9 percent of women, could not recall incidents of uncivil student behavior, Women were also much more likely to report that the uncivil behavior they experienced was severe, or to say that they had been upset by it.

The study, the first of its kind, came out of the University of Redlands.
