Abstract
A lesbian assistant professor of counseling psychology disclosed her s exual orientation during lectures to 2 sections of an undergraduate co urse and did not disclose in 2 comparable sections of the same course. Group differences in means and variances of teaching evaluations were examined for possible student bias. No evidence of sexual orientation bias was found.
