| Abstract: | It is argued that an epistemic authority would induce greater influence in transmitting knowledge to students when there is
a correspondence between the (authoritarian vs. democratic) style of the authority and students’ perceptions of their relation
to the authority (high vs. low epistemic dependence). In two studies it was predicted, and found, that students who perceived
themselves in a state of low epistemic dependence towards their teachers were more influenced by a democratic than by an authoritarian
teaching style. This difference in appropriation was not found for students who perceived themselves in a state of epistemic
dependence towards the epistemic authority. |
