Abstract: The aim of the paper is the attribution of power in relation to academic teachers \ndepending on the their gender and sexual orientation. This paper discusses \nthe findings from an investigation designed to explore this phenomenon. The \nrelationships between acknowledged power and types of teacher were measured \nby a questionnaire specifically designed for the investigation using the \n‘Bases of Teacher’s Power Linear Scale’. The types of power were distinguished \nsuitably by Raven’s model, and the types of teacher, according to gender (women, \nmen) and sexual orientation (hetero-, bi-, homosexual). The sample encompassed \n215 Polish undergraduates and graduates, recruited via the internet. \nResults shows that depending on the expected sexual orientation of the teacher, \nthe assigned types of power to him/her were different. The gender and sexual \norientation of observers were also controlled. Ultimately, those results allowed \nthe profiles of power to be determined. The ones discussed here are the most \nfrequently occurring-results and the unexpected results.
