- Abstract
We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the effect of self-reported interview anxiety on job candidates' interview performance. Correspondingly, we examined the extent to which this relation was moderated by anxiety measurement approaches, type of interview (mock vs. real), timing of the anxiety measurement (before vs. after the interview), age, and gender. The overall meta-analytic correlation of -.19 was moderated by measurement approach and type of interview. Additionally, we evaluated the contributing studies with respect to power/sample size and provide sample size guidance for future research. The overall negative relation of -.19 (a medium effect size in this research area) indicates that anxiety may have a meaningful impact on hiring decisions in competitive situations through a decrease in interview performance.
