Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an interactive video (IV) to improve knowledge, attitudes, and intent to hire people who are blind or have low vision (B/LV) and determined whether immediate improvements were retained 3 months later.

Method: We conducted two randomized controlled trials to evaluate the IV's effectiveness, one involving 157 management students, and the other including 63 adults involved in making hiring decisions for their organizations. In both studies, participants took a pretest consisting of six outcome measures, viewed the IV or a control video, and completed an immediate posttest. Study 1 participants also completed a 3-month follow-up.

Results: Viewing the IV was associated with large improvements in knowledge about B/LV and explicit attitudes about employing people who are B/LV and medium increases in intent to hire. Changes in discomfort around people who are B/LV and implicit attitudes about their competence were mixed. Improvements exhibited immediately after viewing the IV were retained.

Conclusions: Research supports that improvements in these outcome measures may be associated with an increased likelihood of hiring an applicant who is B/LV. Organizations could adopt the video as a training for personnel who are involved in making hiring decisions to promote inclusive hiring. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

通过互动视频提高知识和态度：一项随机对照试验。

目的：本研究评估了互动视频（IV）的有效性，以提高知识，态度和意图雇用盲人或低视力（B/LV）的人，并确定是否立即改善保留3个月后。方法：我们进行了两项随机对照试验来评估IV的有效性，其中一项涉及157名管理专业的学生，另一项包括63名参与组织招聘决策的成年人。在这两项研究中，参与者都进行了由六项结果测量组成的前测，观看了静脉注射或对照视频，并立即完成了后测。研究1的参与者也完成了为期3个月的随访。结果：观看IV与B/LV知识的大幅提高和对雇用B/LV人员的明确态度以及雇佣意图的中等增加有关。对B/LV人群的不适感和对他们能力的含蓄态度的变化是混合的。观察静脉注射后立即表现出的改善被保留。结论：研究支持这些结果测量的改善可能与雇用B/LV申请人的可能性增加有关。组织可以采用该视频作为参与招聘决策的人员的培训，以促进包容性招聘。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
