Visual cues and verbal content as influences on impressions formed after simulated employment interviews

Abstract

Examined the nature and extent of interviewer influence on O's perceptions of interviewers and job applicants. Observations and ratings made by 122 undergraduates were more favorable under conditions of increased use of gestures, eye contact, and smiling. Audiovisual, visual-only, and transcript modes of presentation were differentially effective in influencing perceptions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
