Abstract

In assessment and selection, organizations often include interpersonal interactions because they provide insights into candidates' interpersonal skills. These skills are then typically assessed via one-shot, retrospective assessor ratings. Unfortunately, the assessment of interpersonal skills at such a trait-like level fails to capture the richness of how the interaction unfolds at the behavioral exchange level within a role-play assessment. This study uses the lens of interpersonal complementarity theory to advance our understanding of interpersonal dynamics in role-play assessment and their effects on assessor ratings. Ninety-six MBA students participated in four different flash role-plays as part of diagnosing their strengths and weaknesses. Apart from gathering assessor ratings and criterion measures, coders also conducted a fine-grained examination of how the behavior of the two interaction partners (i.e., MBA students and role-players) unfolded at the moment-to-moment level via the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID) measurement tool. In all role-plays, candidates consistently showed mutual adaptations in line with complementarity principles: Affiliative behavior led to affiliative behavior, whereas dominant behavior resulted in docile, following behavior and vice versa. For affiliation, mutual influence also occurred in that both interaction partners' temporal trends in affiliation were entrained over time. Complementarity patterns were significantly related to ratings of in situ (role-playing) assessors but not to ratings of ex situ (remote) assessors. The effect of complementarity on validity was mixed. Overall, this study highlights the importance of going beyond overall ratings to capture behavioral contingencies such as complementarity patterns in interpersonal role-play assessment.

我们之间的化学反应:通过即时分析来阐明人际角色扮演评估中的互补模式。
在评估和选择中,组织经常包括人际交往,因为他们可以洞察候选人的人际交往能力。这些技能通常通过一次性的、回顾性的评估评分来评估。不幸的是,在这种特征水平上对人际交往能力的评估未能捕捉到角色扮演评估中行为交流水平上互动如何展开的丰富性。本研究以人际互补性理论为视角,探讨角色扮演评估中的人际动态及其对评估者评分的影响。96名MBA学生参加了四种不同的快速角色扮演,作为诊断自己优缺点的一部分。除了收集评估员的评分和标准测量外,编码员还通过人际动态持续评估(CAID)测量工具,对两个互动伙伴(即MBA学生和角色扮演者)的行为如何在时刻到时刻的水平上展开进行了细致的检查。在所有的角色扮演中,候选人一致表现出符合互补原则的相互适应:从属行为导致从属行为,而主导行为导致顺从行为,反之亦然。对于隶属关系,相互影响也发生在互动伙伴双方在隶属关系上的时间趋势随时间而变化。互补性模式与原地(角色扮演)评估者的评级显著相关,而与非原地(远程)评估者的评级无关。互补性对效度的影响是混合的。总的来说,这项研究强调了超越总体评分来捕捉行为偶然性的重要性,比如人际角色扮演评估中的互补模式。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Applied Psychology® focuses on publishing original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (excluding clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are better suited for other APA journals). The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings. These phenomena can occur at individual, group, organizational, or cultural levels, and in various work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions. The journal welcomes submissions from both public and private sector organizations, for-profit or nonprofit. It publishes several types of articles, including: 1.Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that expand conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses). 2.Theory development articles and integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and generate new theories on psychological phenomena to stimulate novel research. 3.Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are challenging to capture with quantitative methods or require inductive theory building.
