What Do You Think of My Ink? Assessing the Effects of Body Art on Employment Chances
通过实验发现，有纹身或穿孔的求职者获得的雇佣评分更低，但非面向客户岗位的负面影响较小；在面向客户岗位中，纹身比穿孔更不利。
Using mixed design analysis of variance, this paper examines the effect of body art on job applicant hireability ratings. It employs the literatures on the social psychologies of stigma and prejudice, as well as aesthetic labor, to frame the argument. The results indicate that photos of tattooed and pierced job applicants result in lower hireability ratings compared to the control faces. The negative effect of body art on employment chances is, however, reduced for job applicants seeking non-customer-facing roles. In customer-facing roles, the tattoo is associated with lower hireability ratings than the piercing. The results suggest that visible body art can potentially be a real impediment to employment. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
