Multiple frameworks and models postulate an effect of job interview preparation on faking. Two studies were conducted to examine if applicants’ interview preparation is correlated with higher faking. Besides analyzing the general extent of preparation, we also distinguished between different preparation categories. In Study 1 (N = 237), a presented preparation video led to higher intentions on image protection but did not increase overall faking intentions. Study 2 (N = 206) focused on past preparation and impression management (IM). The total time spent on preparation was positively correlated with faking. Applicants’ preparation via online videos and professional interview preparation was correlated with higher deceptive and honest IM. Preparation via online videos was additionally correlated with a higher perceived interview difficulty.

准备假的？求职者面试准备与伪造之间的关系

多种框架和模型假定了工作面试准备对虚假的影响。进行了两项研究，以检查申请人的面试准备是否与伪造品相关。除了分析准备的总体范围外，我们还区分了不同的准备类别。在研究1中（N  = 237），展示的准备视频导致了对图像保护的更高意图，但并未增加总体伪造意图。研究2（Ñ = 206），重点关注过去的准备和印象管理（IM）。花费在准备上的总时间与伪造成正相关。通过在线视频和专业面试准备的申请人与较高的欺骗性和诚实的IM相关。通过在线视频进行的准备还与较高的面试难度相关。
