____ refers to behaviors of interviewers that lead to the reinforcement of their pre-conceived notions about a job candidate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confirmation bias refers to the tendency of interviewers to pay more attention to information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs about a candidate, while ignoring information that contradicts those beliefs. This can result in unfair treatment and exclusion of qualified candidates who do not fit the interviewer's specific expectations or stereotypes. Discrimination and harassment are related issues but not specifically tied to the interviewer's biases, while leading questions can be a result of poor interview technique but do not necessarily imply pre-conceived notions.
