Faculty who feel that their expectations from their students have not been fulfilled and that the psychological contract between them and their students has been violated due to disruptive behaviors, lack of interest and lack of respect from students, may react in different ways. Some of these reaction patterns may foster an atmosphere of rudeness in the classroom and beyond.

The same goes for students. Students who feel that some of the core expectations they had of their teachers, such as being interesting, thoughtful or attentive to students’ needs, have not been fulfilled, may feel that the psychological contract between them and faculty was violated and may react in a negative manner. These reactions, in turn, may be perceived by faculty as a violation of their own contract with their students.

This reciprocal process is demonstrated in a report from a female student in one of the colleges in Israel, interviewed for the purpose of this book:I recall an incident in one of the lectures. One of the students who did not fully understand the material asked a lot of questions, sometimes basic ones. The lecturer reacted in a patronizing manner, saying that students should go over the learning material at home instead of arriving to class unprepared and asking basic questions. The students on their part were angry at the lecturer’s reaction, saying that they will file a complaint. (U.F, A lecturer)
