Influence of Varying Sources of Information on Judgments of Interviews

Abstract
Ratings of 17 role-played interviews were made by separate raters on 17 dimensions by 17 Es serving in turn as interviewer, observer with application form, observer without application form, listener to a tape with application form, listener to a tape without an application form, and rater of application form alone. There were differences in means and correlations among the conditions ( p < .05) and a differential reliance on the application blank when interviewee was observed or not observed.
