Writing Apprehension in the Classroom: Teacher Role Expectancies of the Apprehensive Writer.

There is abundant evidence indicating that individuals vary in their selfreported apprehension of writing. Extensive research, conducted during tthe past few years, has revealed a wide variety of important correlates and a number of significant consequences attributable to this apprehension. The present study explored teachers' expectancies of the apprehensive writer. It sought to determine whether writing apprehension, and behaviors associated with it, could serve as important determinants of teacher judgments. In addition, it attempted to identify some of the particular expectations, perceptions and evaluations held by teachers of students who vary in apprehension.
