The interviewer's conduct of the interview appeared to mediate this effect in a manner consistent with the behavioral confirmation predictions of a process model of the interview (Dipboye, 1982). Individual differences among interviewers were found in the extent to which they used preinterview information in reaching their decisions. Additionally, the instructions which interviewers were provided with appeared to play a role in the manner in which interviewers rendered their ratings about applicants on ten interview dimensions.130 p.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
