Abstract

Perceptions of clothing are complex, varying across individuals, situations, cultures, and time. Although there is very little research on the topic in our field, evidence from a wide variety of other disciplines points to the importance of clothing in the workplace. In this article, we review this evidence and identify three universal and distinctive clothing characteristics at work: formality, provocativeness, and fashionability. We also identify two other categories: uniforms and religiosity of clothing, which are tied to particular social groups. Drawing on attribution theory and the stereotype content model, we provide a cohesive conceptual framework in which clothing characteristics influence observers' perceptions of wearer's warmth and competence through observers' dispositional attribution processes. These perceptions, in turn, influence facilitation behaviors, such as providing support to wearers, and harm behaviors, such as negatively biased performance appraisal. We conclude by offering suggestions for future research and implications for employees and employers with regard to managing clothing choices and avoiding potential biases.

我应该穿什么去上班?对工作场所着装影响的综合评估。
对服装的看法是复杂的,因个人、环境、文化和时间而异。尽管在我们的领域里很少有关于这个话题的研究,但来自其他学科的证据都表明了工作场所着装的重要性。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了这些证据,并确定了工作中三种普遍而独特的服装特征:正式、挑衅和时尚。我们还确定了另外两类:制服和宗教信仰的服装,它们与特定的社会群体有关。根据归因理论和刻板印象内容模型,我们提供了一个连贯的概念框架,其中服装特征通过观察者的性格归因过程影响观察者对穿着者温暖和能力的感知。这些认知反过来影响促进行为,如为佩戴者提供支持,以及伤害行为,如负面偏见的绩效评估。最后,我们为未来的研究提供了建议,并为雇员和雇主在管理着装选择和避免潜在偏见方面提供了启示。(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.
