Author: Amber Chatelain (Eastern Kentucky University)

Abstract

The purpose of this research study was to discover whether students at a career arts institution perceive instructors’ credibility differently when instructors are wearing casual, business casual, and professional attire and whether the gender of the instructor makes a difference in students’ perceptions. This research study offers insight into how students at a career arts institution perceive faculty as a result of dress identified as casual, business casual, or professional attire.
