“…Finally, behavioral anxiety involves the autonomic reactions one's body has to the interview situation (e.g., fast heartbeat, sweaty palms). Although the five interview anxiety dimensions are conceptually distinct, most research has focused on overall interview anxiety (e.g., Feiler & Powell, 2013;Gong, Li, Zhang, & Rost, 2016). These dimensions of interview anxiety, as conceptualized by McCarthy and Goffin (2004), underscore the interpersonal, social, and evaluative nature that is characteristic of interviews.…”

We investigated whether anxiety about self-presentation concerns during interviews (i.e., interview anxiety) is associated with applicants' use of deceptive impression management (IM) tactics. We examined the relationship between interview anxiety and deceptive IM, and we examined whether the personality traits of honesty-humility and extraversion would be indirectly related to deceptive IM through interview anxiety. Participants (N = 202) were recruited after an interview for a research assistant position. Interview anxiety scores were positively related to deceptive IM. Furthermore, there was evidence of a negative indirect effect of honesty-humility on deceptive IM, via overall interview anxiety. Also, extraversion was indirectly associated with deceptive IM through interview anxiety. Results suggest that deceptive IM can be used as a protective mechanism to maintain self-esteem or to avoid the loss of rewards. This paper is the first to examine the role of interview anxiety in interview faking.

Does interview anxiety predict job performance and does it influence the predictive validity of interviews?

Interview anxiety is negatively related to interview performance; however, its relation to job performance is unknown. It could correlate negatively with job performance, and it could moderate the interview performance–job performance relation. In a sample of applicants for Residence Assistant positions, interview anxiety had near‐zero correlations with job performance, rated by supervisors and supervisees. It moderated the relation between interview performance and supervisor‐rated facilitating peer and team performance, such that interview performance did not predict this job performance component for anxious applicants. The moderation was not found for supervisor‐rated task proficiency, or for supervisee ratings of either job performance component, suggesting that the impact of interview anxiety depends on rater source and which job performance component is rated.

“…Specifically, the limited research on the use of reappraisal instructions in social settings (e.g., during the discussion of distressing topics or during a social‐evaluative speech task) came to contradictory results. In some cases, instructed reappraisal increased (e.g., Denson, Creswell, Terides, & Blundell, ), in others it decreased (physiological) stress responses (e.g., Ben‐Naim, Hirschberger, Ein‐Dor, & Mikulincer, ; Gong, Li, Zhang, & Rost, ); alternatively no clear effects on (physiological) stress indices emerged (Butler et al, ; Butler, Gross, & Barnard, ; note that three other (older) studies by Butler and collegues use the same data set as Butler et al, , and are therefore not reported here). Hence, the buffering effects of instructed reappraisal on stress responses seem to be less clear‐cut for emotion regulation in a social setting.…”

Only reappraisers profit from reappraisal instructions: Effects of instructed and habitual reappraisal on stress responses during interpersonal conflicts

et al. 2018

Conflicts are an undesirable yet common aspect of daily interactions with wide-ranging negative consequences. The present research aimed to examine the buffering effect of experimentally instructed reappraisal on self-reported, physiological and behavioral stress indices during interpersonal conflicts, taking into account habitual emotion regulation strategies. For this, 145 participants experienced a standardized laboratory conflict with the instruction to either reappraise (n = 48), to suppress (n = 50), or with no instruction (n = 47) while cardiovascular and neuroendocrine measures were taken. Participants were allowed to eat sweet and salty snacks during the conflict situation. Prior to as well as after the conflict, participants reported on their subjective stress level. Reappraisal instructions were only effective for high habitual reappraisers who exhibited lower cardiovascular and cortisol reactivity and demonstrated fewer snack-eating behaviors under reappraisal instructions than under suppression or no instructions. The opposite pattern emerged for low habitual reappraisers. Neither experimentally instructed nor habitual reappraisal by itself reduced the negative effects of conflicts. Our findings complement the literature on the diverging effects of instructed reappraisal in tense social interactions.
