Abstract
The study investigated the relationships between Hispanic students' perceptions of instructors' homophily and nonverbal immediacy behaviors and their perceptions of affective learning and content relevance. Utilizing convenience sampling, 141 Hispanic students completed a series of self-report scales. Multiple regression analysis found a significant relationship among these measures. Results further indicate that as students' perceptions of immediacy and attitude homophily increased, perceptions of affective learning and content relevance were enhanced.
