SOLANO-GOMEZ, Ángela e SMITH-CASTRO, Vanessa. Effects of Sex and Attractiveness in Hiring Decisions: An Experimental Study. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.1, pp.208-220. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy16-1.eafs.
This study aimed to analyze the activation of stereotypical information in personnel selection contexts. Hypotheses were tested via a 2 (applicant's sex) x 2 (applicant's appeal) x 2 (sex of the recruiter) experimental design among professional recruiters. Results show a significant effect of both, sex and attractiveness of the stimuli. These effects were moderated by the sex of the recruiter and partially mediated by attributions of warmth and ability. Results are discussed in the light of the impact of the "beautiful is good" effect and the stereotypes of traditional sex roles.
