FORCED ATTENTION TO SPECIFIC APPLICANT QUALIFICATIONS: IMPACT ON PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS AND SEX OF APPLICANT BIASES
研究通过强制评估特定资格后再做招聘决策，能否减少性别和外貌歧视。实验发现，评估顺序影响具体资格评分，但不影响整体录用决定；男性及有吸引力的申请人更受青睐。
The effect of forced postponement of a hiring decision until after specific qualifications had been evaluated was examined as a procedure to reduce sex and physical attractiveness discrimination. Ninety six male and 148 female undergraduates evaluated the qualifications of an attractive, average, or unattractive male or female applicant. Ratings of specific qualifications preceded or followed an overall and hiring decision rating. Results indicated that the order variable influenced ratings of specific qualifications but not the overall or hiring decision. Sex of subject and attractiveness did affect the hiring decision with male and attractive applicants being preferred.
