presented with a scenario and will be presented with a series of faces and
asked to rate how competent you feel the person is for a particular job and
how likely you would be to hire them. It should take around 10 to 15
minutes to complete but there is no time limit for completion.
After you complete the survey, you will be informed in more detail about the
specific aims and hypotheses of this study and will have the chance to ask
further questions by contacting the researcher.
