- Abstract
Gender and disabilities have long been identified as factors that contribute to discrimination in society today. The current study explores the interaction between these two factors in the specific context of a hiring situation. In this study, participants were asked to read a resume and job interview notes and then answer questions regarding perception of social skill, job capability, and personality. The resume and job interview notes were identical except two were male and two were female, and one of each gender had a stated diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There were 116 total participants (mean age=36.32, SD=10.94), of which 65.5% were male. No significant interaction effects were found; however, the results revealed a number of interesting main effects within the constructs studied, including the factors hiring recommendation, overall performance, absenteeism, ‘bad’ other characteristics, and job fit. Despite the lack of interaction effects, future research exploring the significant main effects observed in this study would likely contribute to the growing body of ASD literature by providing further avenues of research and insights into possible limitations that are found when studying this population in this regard.
