This study was undertaken to determine if the credibility principle
of attitude change applied in the multi-variable context of a
team-taught education methods course. Defined as respondent
perceptions of communicator expertise and trustworthiness, credi-
bility is believed to be the probable producer of attitude changes.
Six education team members functioned as independent variables
while the dependent variables consisted of preservice teacher
attitudes toward science and science teaching as well as
perceptions of team member credibility and attitudes. Three
principal team members were perceived as being most credible.
Repeated measures on the dependent variables increased toward the
perceived levels of the principal educators. Results of this study
support the credibility principle, in general, but additional
findings indicate that credibility alone is not the probable
producer of attitude changes.
