Effect of Evaluating a Job Applicant Wearing Indigenous Huichol versus European/Anglo Work Attire on Judgments about Hiring and Perceived Importance

An online survey experiment will measure the effect of evaluating a Latinx job candidate’s resume when their photo portrays them in prototypically indigenous Huichol (versus prototypically European/Anglo) work attire. Perceived importance, warmth, competence, and hiring intention will be compared to assess an under-investigated aspect of bias in U.S. society.
