A Study of Relationships Between Teacher Characteristics and Congruity, Incongruity, and Inconsistency With Policy Positions of Teacher Organizations
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships between three types of responses that were assumed to effect group cohesion, and certain teacher characteristics. The types of responses consisted of congruent responses that reflected an agreement with the organization's position on certain policy issues; incongruent responses that represented a disagreement with the organization's position; and inconsistent responses that represented cognitive inconsistency in the respondent. Congruent responses were judged to enhance the cohesion of a group, while incongruent and inconsistent responses were judged to be detrimental.
