Abstract
In an earlier experiment, college recruiters evaluated a video tape of an interviewee who was either male or female and who displayed either a moderately aggressive or passive self-presentation. In the present paper, two studies are presented which replicated and extended the findings of the original experiment ( R. Dipboye and J. Wiley, Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1977 , 10, 1–12.). As in the original study, moderately aggressive candidates were evaluated more favorably than passive candidates for a supervisory position and no differences were found in the ratings of male and female candidates. In addition, a short job description was found to result in less favorable ratings than a long job description and passive candidates tended to be rated more favorably than a moderately aggressive candidate for an editorial assistant position.
