Abstract

Samples of university students from the United States, Eastern cultures, and Western cultures rated thirty‐one classroom instructional behaviors for appropriateness in their culture. U.S. students had significantly higher appropriateness ratings than Eastern students on clarity of presentation, enthusiasm, classroom interaction, and spatial‐behavioral communication behaviors. Western students exceeded Eastern students in all areas except spatial‐behavioral communication behaviors; ratings of non‐U.S. students were predicted by field of study and age.
