It was shown that observation of a high-rewarding teacher was directly related to increased imitative behavior by students. (Author)

Objectives of the study were to determine the relationships among behaviors defined within each of several observation systems; and to examine relationships across systems in order to derive some empirical dimensions of classroom behavior. (Authors/CB)
