Abstract. During employment interviews, candidates often use impression management tactics to influence how they are perceived by the interviewer. Previous research suggests that certain impression management tactics, specifically self-promotion, may work more successfully for men than for women, which is problematic as it can result in hiring discrimination against women. In this registered report, we used an experimental design ( N = 831) to examine gender differences in the success of self-promotion tactics and whether using a structured rating process can mitigate this effect. However, our results did not replicate the pattern of effects found in previous studies; the interaction of gender and self-promotion was not significant. These findings support previous research, which found that structured interviews are resistant to gender bias.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
