QT 2 Final

Participants in this experiment consisted of 67 California State University, Northridge students. In a double-blind procedure, participants were randomly assigned to follow directions from either a casually or professionally dressed experimenter. The authors predicted that participants in the professionally dressed condition would follow directions more accurately, but results indicated that participants who received directions from a casual experimenter were more compliant. It may be that students follow directions more accurately when those directions are given by someone who is dressed more similar to themselves. The document also discusses how dress has been shown to influence hiring decisions during job interviews.
