Genderbias
First-impression effect
Contrast effect
Nonverbal communication
Physical attractiveness
Influenced by type of job (role-congruent jobs) and competence. Female interviewers gave higher ratings than male interviewers.
Early impressions were more important than factual information for interviewer judgments. Hire decisions were related to the intnerviewer’s caused interpretation (attribution) of an applicant’s past outcomes.
Interviewers’ evaluations of job candidates were influenced by the quality and characteristics of the previous candidates.
Applicants who looked straight ahead, as opposed to downward, were rated as being more alert, assertive, and depondable; they were also more likely to be hired. Applicants who demonstrated a greater amount of eye contact, head moving, and smiling received higher evaluations.
More attractive applicants received higher evaluations.
