The relationship between rater affect and three sources of 360-degree feedback ratings
研究了评价者情感对360度反馈中上级、同级和下级评价宽松度的影响，发现情感对同级和下级评价的影响大于上级，且随观察时间增加而增强。
We investigated whether rater affect has a similar effect on the leniency of ratings from three of the sources of 360-degree feedback (downward, upward, and peer) and whether there is an interaction between a rater’s affect and the time he or she has spent observing the ratee. The findings indicate that the influence of rater affect on the leniency of ratings was significantly greater in upward and peer feedback than in downward feedback and that the influence increased as raters’ observation time increased.
