1809 - Side-by-side comparison can help you make ethical choices and avoid stereotypes. // News // Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership // University of Notre Dame
A recent study showed that when participants evaluated candidates for a job one-by-one, they tended to rely on stereotypes. They ignored candidates’ past performance, and they tended to select male candidates for math tasks and females for verbal tasks. But when they compared male candidates side-by-side with female candidates, they were able to focus on actual job performance and qualifications, and they chose the best person for the job in a less biased manner. #SideBySide
