Partisan Discrimination in Peer Evaluations for Internship Opportunity

Poster Session VIII

Keyword: Politics

Abstract: University students (N=247) evaluated applications in an internship evaluation experiment. Applications were identical except for political party identification. We found a small effect that both liberal and conservative participants rated contra-ideological applicants as less suitable for an internship opportunity than applicants who share their ideological views.
