Question

Professor Plum begins an interaction with his class using negative behavior. During the course of the interaction, he switches to positive behavior. Prof. Reibolt started an interaction with his class using positive behavior; but, he switched to negative behavior. How would the Loss-Gain Effect explain how the class would feel about Prof. Plum compared to Prof. Reibolt?

Answer 1

Answer:

The class would feel more fond of Professor Plum.

Explanation:

According to the Loss-Gain Effect, Professor Plum would be more likeable because the students didn't have a good first impression. The effect is bidirectional: when Prof. Plum realises the students respect him more, he will also feel more attached to the students.
