This paper discusses the factors to consider when designing studies to measure hiring discrimination against transgender job applicants.,The paper builds on academic literature related to hiring discrimination and transgender employment to build a detailed discussion of the numerous factors and issues inherent in hiring discrimination against transgender job applicants. By isolating and describing a number of relevant considerations, the paper aims to act as a guide for future studies to build upon.,Three types of hiring discrimination studies are discussed: correspondence tests, in-person experiments and student cohort experiments. Three main categories of factors relevant to an experiment’s design are then discussed: the legal context, industry/role factors and transgender population-specific factors. A flow-chart detailing the research design decision-making process is provided.,The discussion within this paper will act as a reference and a guide for researchers seeking to address the dearth of empirical studies in the literature. The list is not exhaustive; while a number of factors relevant to transgender-specific studies are identified, there may be more that could affect an experiment's design.,Hiring discrimination against transgender people has been recorded in many surveys, but there is little empirical measurement of this discrimination. To the author's knowledge, this paper is the first to examine the experimental design decisions related to transgender hiring discrimination. In doing so, it provides contributions for two primary audiences: those researching transgender employment issues but who have never conducted a study measuring hiring discrimination; and those who have previously conducted studies on hiring discrimination, but have not done so with reference to transgender job applicants.

招募对跨性别求职者的歧视–设计研究时的考虑因素

本文讨论了在设计研究以衡量对跨性别求职者的雇用歧视时应考虑的因素。本文以与雇用歧视和跨性别就业有关的学术文献为基础，对雇用对跨性别的歧视所固有的众多因素和问题进行了详细的讨论。求职者。通过隔离和描述许多相关的考虑因素，本文旨在作为未来研究基础的指南。讨论了三种类型的招聘歧视研究：对应测试，面对面实验和学生队列实验。然后讨论了与实验设计相关的三大主要因素：法律背景，行业/角色因素和跨性别人群特定因素。提供了详细说明研究设计决策过程的流程图。本文中的讨论将为寻求解决文献中实证研究不足的研究人员提供参考和指南。清单并不详尽；尽管确定了与跨性别特定研究相关的许多因素，但可能有更多因素会影响实验的设计。许多调查记录了对跨性别人群的雇用歧视，但对这种歧视的实证测量很少。就作者所知，本文是第一个研究与跨性别雇用歧视相关的实验设计决策的论文。这样，它可以为两个主要受众提供帮助：研究跨性别就业问题但从未进行过衡量雇用歧视的研究的人员；以及以前就雇用歧视问题进行过研究，但尚未针对跨性别求职者进行研究的人员。
