Discriminatie op uiterlijk De beoordeling op het uiterlijk van sollicitanten en de rol van mannelijke en vrouwelijke beoordelaars

Abstract

Background: The goal of the current study was to examine or applicants will be judged by their attractiveness and if there is mention of discrimination on appearance. It was also examined if there is a difference between male and female applicant assessors. It was expected that attractive applicants would be more suitable than unattractive ones. Method: 125 participants aged 18 years and older completed a vignette method questionnaire in which they had to judge 4 CV’s on suitability of the applicant. Results: Attractiveness had no significant effects on the suitability of the applicant. Only attractive male applicants will be better suitable than unattractive male applicants in typical female jobs. The results showed no significant effects for male or female assessors. Conclusion: Attractive applicants and unattractive applicants will be judged the same and appearance has no influence on the judgement of assessors about applicants.
