Abstract
Abstract A stimulus person was described as a candidate who was late for a job interview. Undergraduate students at the University of Bombay estimated the likelihood that the person would be late again in similar circumstances and indicated the strength of their recommendation that he or she should stop being late in similar circumstances. The study had a 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 (Subject's Gender × Stimulus Person's Gender × Job Status: manager, clerk, or sweeper × Nature of Outcome: positive, neutral, or negative) factorial design, with 16 subjects per cell. The estimated likelihood of unpunctuality was higher with a sweeper's job than with a manager's job and lower with the negative outcome (the candidate not getting the job) than with the positive outcome (the candidate getting the job) and the neutral outcome (the candidate awaiting the result of the interview). The female subjects' recommendations against unpunctuality were stronger for the male stimulus person than for the female stimulus person.
