Word and colleagues (1974) conducted a study examining the influence of racial stereotyping on job interview performance.This study demonstrated that

A) a job interviewer's nonverbal behavior is not influenced by an applicant's race, though verbal behavior shows signs of self-fulfilling prophecy.
B) job interviewers who are trained with explicit instructions to treat job applicants the same way regardless of race are able to avoid the self-fulfilling prophecy.
C) a job interviewer's behavior can create a self-fulfilling prophecy that leads applicants of a particular race to objectively perform more poorly than other applicants.
D) job applicants who are negatively stereotyped are more sensitive to nonverbal cues during the course of an interview and therefore more likely to fall victim to the self-fulfilling prophecy than are other applicants.
