To determine if large angle esotropia and exotropia could impact a person's ability to obtain employment.
Laboratory experiment.
Seventy-nine respondents unaware of the purpose of the study.
Photographs of two men and two women were digitally altered to create photographs of the same individual in an orthotropic, esotropic, and exotropic state. The photographs were then randomly affixed to similarly qualified job resumes. The 79 study respondents, unaware of the purpose of the study, were asked to (1) rate each individual applicant on selected job qualification variables, and (2) rank the applicants against each other in order of hiring preference.
Individual applicant rating and hiring preference scores.
Women with normal ocular alignment received greater hiring preference scores than did strabismic women (P = 0.007). No difference in hiring preference scores was noted between strabismic and non-strabismic male applicants (P = 0.47).
Large angle horizontal strabismus appeared to be vocationally significant for female applicants, reducing a strabismic female applicant's ability to obtain employment. The presence of strabismus did not appear to influence hiring decisions of male applicants.
确定大角度内斜视和外斜视是否会影响一个人的就业能力。
实验室实验。
79名不知道研究目的的受访者。
对两名男性和两名女性的照片进行数字修改，以创建处于正视、内斜视和外斜视状态下的同一个人的照片。然后将这些照片随机粘贴到资质相当的工作简历上。79名不知道研究目的的受访者被要求：（1）根据选定的工作资质变量对每个求职者进行评分；（2）按照招聘偏好对求职者进行相互排名。
单个求职者的评分和招聘偏好分数。
眼部正常的女性比斜视女性获得更高的招聘偏好分数（P = 0.007）。斜视男性和非斜视男性求职者的招聘偏好分数没有差异（P = 0.47）。
大角度水平斜视对女性求职者似乎具有职业重要性，会降低斜视女性求职者的就业能力。斜视的存在似乎不会影响男性求职者的招聘决定。
