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 ( = 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.
我们调查了面试过程中对自我展示的担忧（即面试焦虑）是否与求职者使用欺骗性印象管理（IM）策略有关。我们研究了面试焦虑与欺骗性印象管理之间的关系，并且考察了诚实谦逊和外向性这两个人格特质是否会通过面试焦虑与欺骗性印象管理产生间接关联。参与者（n = 202）是在一次研究助理职位面试后招募的。面试焦虑得分与欺骗性印象管理呈正相关。此外，有证据表明诚实谦逊通过总体面试焦虑对欺骗性印象管理产生负向间接效应。而且，外向性通过面试焦虑与欺骗性印象管理存在间接关联。结果表明，欺骗性印象管理可以作为一种保护机制来维持自尊或避免奖励的损失。本文首次考察了面试焦虑在面试造假中的作用。
