Description

Invited workshop: Equality of Opportunity in Psychology: Research, Practice, and Importance within and Beyond Academia.

Abstract:
This interactive workshop will define equality of opportunity from a psychology perspective and will introduce research methods within psychology that are used to study equality in career-related contexts. In particular, it will discuss research focusing on hiring decisions and equality of opportunity (e.g., gender, caregiver status). This workshop will also discuss initiatives aiming to support gender equality in STEM fields, and how to overcome backlash against them. Finally, this workshop will address the use of personality assessments in the hiring process, the importance of the wording used across the different stages of recruitment, and how effective equal opportunity practices may be fostered in academia through research and teaching.
