A descriptive study was conducted to determine whether teachers held different student role expectations for physically handicapped first grade students than they did for physically normal students. Contrary to predictions, results demonstrated that the teachers held statistically significantly higher expectations for the physically handicapped students. Such differences might be due to social desirability (responding in what appears to be a socially acceptable manner), or to a "haloing" of expectations for physically handicapped students. The teachers' inflated expectations could result in negative reactions toward handicapped students who do not demonstrate anticipated behaviors or live up to inflated expectations.
开展了一项描述性研究，以确定教师对一年级身体有残疾的学生是否比对身体正常的学生持有不同的学生角色期望。与预测相反，结果表明教师对身体有残疾的学生的期望在统计学上显著更高。这种差异可能是由于社会期望（以看似社会可接受的方式做出反应），或者是对身体有残疾的学生期望的“光环效应”。教师过高的期望可能会导致对那些没有表现出预期行为或辜负过高期望的残疾学生产生负面反应。
