NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS: PARAMETERS OF BIODATA INVASIVENESS
研究了200多名专业人士和非专业人士对生物数据项目的侵入性感知，发现项目可验证性、目的透明度和非个人化会降低侵入感，而恐惧污名化、回忆创伤、亲密性和宗教是主要担忧来源。
In this research, biodata items were evaluated for their perceived invasiveness by over 200 professionals (psychologists and social scientists), as well as three samples of nonprofessionals. In addition to item subject matter, perceived invasiveness of items was related to various biodata attributes, in that items that were more verifiable, more transparent in purpose, and more impersonal were seen as less invasive. Subjects with more positive attitudes toward biodata and organizational selection measures viewed fewer items as invasive, as did those with more education. Dispositional variables and gender were related to invasiveness perceptions in some samples. Four general motives or topics were determined to generate the greatest concern: fear of stigmatization, concern about having applicants recall traumatic events, intimacy, and religion. The results may help develop consensus about defining “invasive” and contribute to ways of reducing perceptions of invasiveness.
