This is an overview of the paper "Reinvigorating Research on Gender in the Workplace Using a Positive Work and Organizations Perspective" published in the International Journal of Management Reviews.
Class size refers to the ratio of students to teachers. Research has found that smaller class sizes are generally associated with better student outcomes, especially in elementary school. A famous Tennessee study in the 1980s found that elementary students in classes of 13-17 students achieved higher marks than those in larger classes. While the effects were smaller, smaller class sizes in middle and high school have also been linked to benefits like increased advanced coursework and lower dropout rates. However, larger class sizes allow schools to enroll more students and reduce costs. There is ongoing debate around the complex tradeoffs of class size and its impact on learning outcomes.

This document discusses factors that contribute to happiness. It examines research that has identified three main components of happiness: positive emotion, life satisfaction, and lack of negative feelings like depression and anxiety. Additional factors found to be associated with happiness are positive relationships, purpose in life, personal growth, intimacy, and connection to nature. The document then analyzes data from a study examining the relationship between social desirability, self-efficacy, and happiness in female high school students in Bandar Abbas, Iran. The study found a significant relationship between social desirability and happiness but no significant relationship between self-efficacy and happiness.
Positive organizational psychology is the scientific study of positive subjective experiences and traits in the workplace that improve organizational effectiveness and quality of life. A review of 315 peer-reviewed articles published between 2001-2013 on positive organizational psychology identified key topics like positive leadership, psychological capital, job satisfaction, well-being, and engagement. Positive leadership was found to enhance performance, organizational citizenship behaviors, commitment, and satisfaction through promoting positive organizational behaviors. Psychological capital characterized by self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience led to improved performance, satisfaction, commitment, engagement, and lower absenteeism and stress. Future research opportunities include more empirical studies across diverse contexts and the application of evidence-based practices.

Qualitative Research Questions
The purposes of quantitative and qualitative research are dissimilar. Lietz and Zayas (2010) stated “qualitative inquiry developed through a rich history of research seeking contextualized, in-depth descriptions that offer increased understanding” (p 189).Questions that inform qualitative research explore more in depth to what has been developed through time. When starting off with a qualitative research question it’s always good to use “What” or “ How” ( Developing Your Research Questions, 2016). On a quantitative perspective according to Lietz and Zayas (2010) “quantitative research often seeks through measurement to test hypotheses, to determine outcomes and to draw generalizable conclusions to a defined population’ (p 190). As a social work student I think it is very salient for me to understand the two perspectives so when I am conducting research I am able to explore either one or the other.
Research questions that lead to a qualitative approach usually can answer yes or no. In preparing these types of questions you can use the formats of surveys or interviews. In my week 4 proposal I chose a qualitative method and my research question stated “How does society negatively impact the progression of LGBTQ relationships?” I chose this question because I found it to be very intriguing to find out how different results can factor from this one impact. I chose a qualitative approach because I have previously read so many articles that focused on this topic and in knowing the research I previously discovered I knew there would be some research on this proposal. In collecting data I would certainly research literature reviews, interview LQGTQ couples, and conduct anonymous surveys. The qualitative method that would be most suitable for answering the research question would be feminist research. “I
t is politically motivated in that it seeks to change social inequality “(Introduction to Feminist Research, 2016). I think using this method would help create solutions to the question and the path leading to these solutions.

Hernandez Family Episode 5 Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: They've missed four of their parenting classes so far.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So they haven't completed their parenting group?
FEMALE SPEAKER: I have to call the ACS worker and let her know. They're probably going to have to take the classes over again, and that's going to be tough. The classes caused the father to miss overtime at work, and they really rely on that money to make ends meet.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But they have to finish the program. They're only allowed three missed classes. There's another problem. You know the agency's been conducting a study of our performance. Well, it lowers our completion numbers. Lower numbers put our funding at risk. Our bosses start questioning the credibility of what we're trying to do here.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But I can't give the Hernandez family the post test. They won't be able to complete it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: No, that's not why I brought this up. The agency needs data to determine how effective these parenting classes are. The more attrition we have when parents don't finish the program, there's no data. No data means no support for what we're teaching or how it might benefit other populations.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Maybe we should account for the attrition then. Maybe there's something we can learn from it?

A Systematic Literature Review of Servant Leadership Theory
in Organizational Contexts

Abstract A new research area linked to ethics, virtues,
and morality is servant leadership. Scholars are currently
seeking publication outlets as critics debate whether this
new leadership theory is significantly distinct, viable, and
valuable for organizational success. The aim of this study
was to identify empirical studies that explored servant
leadership theory by engaging a sample population in order
to assess and synthesize the mechanisms, outcomes, and
impacts of servant leadership. Thus, we sought to provide
an evidence-informed answer to how does servant leader-
ship work, and how can we apply it? We conducted a sys-
tematic literature review (SLR), a methodology adopted
from the medical sciences to synthesize research in a sys-
tematic, transparent, and reproducible manner. A disci-
plined screening process resulted in a final sample
population of 39 appropriate studies. The synthesis of these
empirical studies revealed: (a) there is no consensus on the
definition of servant leadership; (b) servant leadership
theory is being investigated across a variety of contexts,
cultures, and themes; (c) researchers are using multiple
measures to explore servant leadership; and (d) servant
leadership is a viable leadership theory that helps organi-
zations and improves the well-being of followers. This
study contributes to the development of servant leadership
theory and practice. In addition, this study contributes to the
methodology for conducting SLRs in the field of manage-
ment, highlighting an effective method for mapping out
thematically, and viewing holistically, new research topics.
We conclude by offering suggestions for future research.

Introduction
Leadership is one of the most comprehensively researched
social influence processes in the behavioral sciences. This is
because the success of all economic, political, and organi-
zational systems depends on the effective and efficient
guidance of the leaders of these systems (Barrow 1977). A
critical factor to understanding the success of an organiza-
tion, then, is to study its leaders. Leadership is a skill used to
influence followers in an organization to work enthusiasti-
cally towards goals specifically identified for the common
good (Barrow 1977; Cyert 2006; Plsek and Wilson 2001).
Great leaders create a vision for an organization, articulate
the vision to the followers, build a shared vision, craft a path
to achieve the vision, and guide their organizations into new
directions (Banutu-Gomez and Banutu-Gomez 2007; Kotter
2001). According to Schneider (1987), the most important
part in build.

The Newly Revised Strong Interest Inventory: A Profile Interpretation for Rehabilitation Counselors
This peer reviewed scholarly journal article seeks to examine the interest patterns that are predictive of success and satisfaction as a rehabilitation counselor using the Strong Interests Inventory. The strength of the SII lies in the variety of which is useful in counseling and provide information that is usually not found with other interest inventories. Interpreting the SII profile begins by looking at the individual's GOT scores. The data and ideas from this interpretation can be used to improve the selection and recruitment of rehabilitation counselors. These findings can help career counselors predict which students and workers will be interested in a particular field.
Abstract from the author:
Using aggregate scores from 281 female and 133 male rehabilitation counselors, the researchers developed prototypical "Strong Interest Inventory" (SII) profiles. They used these profiles to explore the interests, preferences, and professional identity of rehabilitation counselors. Using the General Occupational Themes (GOTs), Basic Interest Scales (BISs), Occupational Scales (OSs), and Personal Style Scales (PSSs), which make up the newly revised SII, the authors obtained empirically defined prototypical profiles for female and male rehabilitation counselors. The Social-Artistic Holland-code dyad was a reoccurring theme across the each profile. Although there are differences in each of the SII scales across genders, the authors found congruence not only within the scales of a particular gender but also across genders. Consistencies and inconsistencies among the GOTs, BISs, OSs, and PSSs are discussed. Implications for counselor recruitment and practice are also discussed.

This scholarly article explored the most frequently used career interest inventory SSI. The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the effects of SII completion and participation an feedback and interpretation on the social cognitive career beliefs of first-year college students. Application of self-efficacy theory to the career decision- tasks and behaviors, whereas high levels of CDMSE lead to increased participation in career decision-making activities. The use of a group interpretation strategy that incorporated sources of performance accomplishments and verbal persuasion as means of providing SI feedback increased participants' CDMSE.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the leadership constructs of eight young women student leaders in the Philippines. The study used a multiple case study approach to interview the participants. Four themes emerged from the interviews: 1) positive values like responsibility, work ethic, and morality; 2) positive identity; 3) being a guide and source of inspiration; and 4) collaboration skills. Late adolescents and those from non-sectarian schools had more developed leadership constructs. The study argues for understanding young women's leadership concepts to promote positive development.

The document is a research paper that examines how organizational culture and leadership style affect employees' performance based on gender. The paper seeks to investigate if organizational culture has a statistically significant effect on performance for both genders, and whether leadership style mediates this relationship. The authors conducted a quantitative study of 40 service companies in the Middle East. The findings suggest that organizational culture and leadership style do influence employee performance and that there are gender implications. Managers need to consider building an organizational culture of acceptance and developing employees' skills, as well as implementing fair reward programs for both genders.

This book is based on organization development which is a process that is broadly applied in behavioral science practices and knowledge that helps organizations in building their capacity to achieve greater and change effectiveness. This includes employee satisfaction, environmental sustainability and increased financial performances. It also examines assumptions, models, and background of organization development, strategies and other aspects of organization development (OD). I choose this book as it has elaborated the concept of OD to detail as well as its historical evolution in the past 60 years.

Organizations. Organization Development Journal, 31(2), 72.
The author advocates for mentally ill, sick children, domestic violence victims, and child abuse and neglect victims. Nonprofit human services organizations which function under an ideology that aims at change for the community, individual, nation, region or world through their missions of advocacy and service. Nonprofit agencies sometimes are caught up in competitive environments as they function with not enough or decreasing resources as well as increasing demand for services. The author feels that organizational development efforts will upgrade internal systems management, build organizations capacity and also develop personnel. This article can be useful because it explores some issues applicable to providing organizational development in these nonprofit agencies which serve as a primer to those thinking of issuing organizational development services.

The belief behind much of this research is that organizational culture is a significant social trait that influences individual, group as well as organizational behavior .it is believed to be shared among organizational levels thus influencing the behaviors and attitudes of employees. Moreover, it a set of assumptions that an organizational or group holds which determines how it thinks, perceives or reacts to different environments.I would use this article since it has explained how organizational development is determined by beliefs, norms or values of an organization.

This document describes a study that developed a test called the Test for Extraversion Survey (TES) to measure the personality trait of extraversion. The study administered the 20-item TES to a sample of 25 female African American college students. Item analysis was used to select the best items for the final test. Reliability analysis found the test had high internal consistency, with a coefficient alpha of 0.92. Discriminant validity was established between extraversion and measures of shyness and antisocial behavior. Further research is still needed to validate the psychometric properties of the TES.
A systematic literature review on outcomes associated with believing in free ...Will Edwards
Belief in free will is associated with mostly positive outcomes according to a literature review of 65 studies. Regarding behavior towards others, over half of studies found belief in free will facilitated compassion and prosocial actions. In terms of success, half of studies linked belief in free will to adaptive behaviors like academic performance. Additionally, over 90% of studies associated belief in free will with increased subjective well-being, meaning in life, and adaptive attitudes. However, some studies found belief in free will correlated with cruel, antisocial outlooks or maladaptive behaviors depending on context. The review aimed to classify studies precisely while privileging researchers' conclusions over any partisan assessment.

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to examine the Impact of Schemes Designed for Women in Goa on
their Self-Esteem and Psychological Well-Being. The sample consisted of women belonging from the age group 18-
40 years and above. These women belonged to the various talukas of Goa. The sample comprised of 1050 women.
The tools used in this study included Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale developed by Morris Rosenberg and the Ryffs
Psychological Well-Being Scale developed by Carol Ryff. Data was analysed by incorporating the t-test and
ANOVA. The results have shown that women who have availed schemes have shown higher level of self-esteem.
Women who have not faced difficulties in applying for schemes have shown higher psychological well-being and
self-esteem. The studies also revealed that women who have received skill training, have their own business and
are employed in an organization show better psychological well-being and self-esteem in comparison to
housewives. Women who are employed show higher level of self-esteem and psychological well-being compared to
women who are unemployed

Research Study: Age Bias Hiring and The Effectiveness of Providing Prevailing...Eveline Brownstein
Abstract:
Prevailing research shows there are stereotypes associated with age that contribute to hiring bias in favor of younger workers, and that there is little management discourse addressing the imbalance. Additional research suggests that younger managers might avoid hiring older workers because they do not know how to manage them. This research study sought to determine if providing hiring managers aged 29 through 49 with research-based information that challenges some prevailing older worker stereotypes is helpful in reducing age-biased hiring decisions. People responsible for making hiring decisions were randomly assigned to a control and an experimental group and asked to make a hypothetical hiring decision with, or without, equity norming statements. The presence of equity norming statements appeared to lead to a hiring bias in favor of the younger candidate, not seen when the equity norming statements were not present. Equity norming statements may have contributed to bias, rather than improved bias.

VERIFYING THE ROLE OF SOCIAL DESIRABILITY PREDICTOR AND SELF EFFICACY IN WELFAREmajid jamal
This document discusses factors that contribute to happiness. It examines research that has identified three main components of happiness: positive emotion, life satisfaction, and lack of negative feelings like depression and anxiety. Additional factors found to be associated with happiness are positive relationships, purpose in life, personal growth, intimacy, and connection to nature. The document then analyzes data from a study examining the relationship between social desirability, self-efficacy, and happiness in female high school students in Bandar Abbas, Iran. The study found a significant relationship between social desirability and happiness but no significant relationship between self-efficacy and happiness.
Positive organizational psychology is the scientific study of positive subjective experiences and traits in the workplace that improve organizational effectiveness and quality of life. A review of 315 peer-reviewed articles published between 2001-2013 on positive organizational psychology identified key topics like positive leadership, psychological capital, job satisfaction, well-being, and engagement. Positive leadership was found to enhance performance, organizational citizenship behaviors, commitment, and satisfaction through promoting positive organizational behaviors. Psychological capital characterized by self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience led to improved performance, satisfaction, commitment, engagement, and lower absenteeism and stress. Future research opportunities include more empirical studies across diverse contexts and the application of evidence-based practices.

Qualitative Research Questions
The purposes of quantitative and qualitative research are dissimilar. Lietz and Zayas (2010) stated “qualitative inquiry developed through a rich history of research seeking contextualized, in-depth descriptions that offer increased understanding” (p 189).Questions that inform qualitative research explore more in depth to what has been developed through time. When starting off with a qualitative research question it’s always good to use “What” or “ How” ( Developing Your Research Questions, 2016). On a quantitative perspective according to Lietz and Zayas (2010) “quantitative research often seeks through measurement to test hypotheses, to determine outcomes and to draw generalizable conclusions to a defined population’ (p 190). As a social work student I think it is very salient for me to understand the two perspectives so when I am conducting research I am able to explore either one or the other.
Research questions that lead to a qualitative approach usually can answer yes or no. In preparing these types of questions you can use the formats of surveys or interviews. In my week 4 proposal I chose a qualitative method and my research question stated “How does society negatively impact the progression of LGBTQ relationships?” I chose this question because I found it to be very intriguing to find out how different results can factor from this one impact. I chose a qualitative approach because I have previously read so many articles that focused on this topic and in knowing the research I previously discovered I knew there would be some research on this proposal. In collecting data I would certainly research literature reviews, interview LQGTQ couples, and conduct anonymous surveys. The qualitative method that would be most suitable for answering the research question would be feminist research. “I
t is politically motivated in that it seeks to change social inequality “(Introduction to Feminist Research, 2016). I think using this method would help create solutions to the question and the path leading to these solutions.

Hernandez Family Episode 5 Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: They've missed four of their parenting classes so far.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So they haven't completed their parenting group?
FEMALE SPEAKER: I have to call the ACS worker and let her know. They're probably going to have to take the classes over again, and that's going to be tough. The classes caused the father to miss overtime at work, and they really rely on that money to make ends meet.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But they have to finish the program. They're only allowed three missed classes. There's another problem. You know the agency's been conducting a study of our performance. Well, it lowers our completion numbers. Lower numbers put our funding at risk. Our bosses start questioning the credibility of what we're trying to do here.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But I can't give the Hernandez family the post test. They won't be able to complete it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: No, that's not why I brought this up. The agency needs data to determine how effective these parenting classes are. The more attrition we have when parents don't finish the program, there's no data. No data means no support for what we're teaching or how it might benefit other populations.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Maybe we should account for the attrition then. Maybe there's something we can learn from it?

A Systematic Literature Review of Servant Leadership Theory
in Organizational Contexts

Abstract A new research area linked to ethics, virtues,
and morality is servant leadership. Scholars are currently
seeking publication outlets as critics debate whether this
new leadership theory is significantly distinct, viable, and
valuable for organizational success. The aim of this study
was to identify empirical studies that explored servant
leadership theory by engaging a sample population in order
to assess and synthesize the mechanisms, outcomes, and
impacts of servant leadership. Thus, we sought to provide
an evidence-informed answer to how does servant leader-
ship work, and how can we apply it? We conducted a sys-
tematic literature review (SLR), a methodology adopted
from the medical sciences to synthesize research in a sys-
tematic, transparent, and reproducible manner. A disci-
plined screening process resulted in a final sample
population of 39 appropriate studies. The synthesis of these
empirical studies revealed: (a) there is no consensus on the
definition of servant leadership; (b) servant leadership
theory is being investigated across a variety of contexts,
cultures, and themes; (c) researchers are using multiple
measures to explore servant leadership; and (d) servant
leadership is a viable leadership theory that helps organi-
zations and improves the well-being of followers. This
study contributes to the development of servant leadership
theory and practice. In addition, this study contributes to the
methodology for conducting SLRs in the field of manage-
ment, highlighting an effective method for mapping out
thematically, and viewing holistically, new research topics.
We conclude by offering suggestions for future research.

Introduction
Leadership is one of the most comprehensively researched
social influence processes in the behavioral sciences. This is
because the success of all economic, political, and organi-
zational systems depends on the effective and efficient
guidance of the leaders of these systems (Barrow 1977). A
critical factor to understanding the success of an organiza-
tion, then, is to study its leaders. Leadership is a skill used to
influence followers in an organization to work enthusiasti-
cally towards goals specifically identified for the common
good (Barrow 1977; Cyert 2006; Plsek and Wilson 2001).
Great leaders create a vision for an organization, articulate
the vision to the followers, build a shared vision, craft a path
to achieve the vision, and guide their organizations into new
directions (Banutu-Gomez and Banutu-Gomez 2007; Kotter
2001). According to Schneider (1987), the most important
part in build.

The Newly Revised Strong Interest Inventory: A Profile Interpretation for Rehabilitation Counselors
This peer reviewed scholarly journal article seeks to examine the interest patterns that are predictive of success and satisfaction as a rehabilitation counselor using the Strong Interests Inventory. The strength of the SII lies in the variety of which is useful in counseling and provide information that is usually not found with other interest inventories. Interpreting the SII profile begins by looking at the individual's GOT scores. The data and ideas from this interpretation can be used to improve the selection and recruitment of rehabilitation counselors. These findings can help career counselors predict which students and workers will be interested in a particular field.
Abstract from the author:
Using aggregate scores from 281 female and 133 male rehabilitation counselors, the researchers developed prototypical "Strong Interest Inventory" (SII) profiles. They used these profiles to explore the interests, preferences, and professional identity of rehabilitation counselors. Using the General Occupational Themes (GOTs), Basic Interest Scales (BISs), Occupational Scales (OSs), and Personal Style Scales (PSSs), which make up the newly revised SII, the authors obtained empirically defined prototypical profiles for female and male rehabilitation counselors. The Social-Artistic Holland-code dyad was a reoccurring theme across the each profile. Although there are differences in each of the SII scales across genders, the authors found congruence not only within the scales of a particular gender but also across genders. Consistencies and inconsistencies among the GOTs, BISs, OSs, and PSSs are discussed. Implications for counselor recruitment and practice are also discussed.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the leadership constructs of eight young women student leaders in the Philippines. The study used a multiple case study approach to interview the participants. Four themes emerged from the interviews: 1) positive values like responsibility, work ethic, and morality; 2) positive identity; 3) being a guide and source of inspiration; and 4) collaboration skills. Late adolescents and those from non-sectarian schools had more developed leadership constructs. The study argues for understanding young women's leadership concepts to promote positive development.

The document is a research paper that examines how organizational culture and leadership style affect employees' performance based on gender. The paper seeks to investigate if organizational culture has a statistically significant effect on performance for both genders, and whether leadership style mediates this relationship. The authors conducted a quantitative study of 40 service companies in the Middle East. The findings suggest that organizational culture and leadership style do influence employee performance and that there are gender implications. Managers need to consider building an organizational culture of acceptance and developing employees' skills, as well as implementing fair reward programs for both genders.

This book is based on organization development which is a process that is broadly applied in behavioral science practices and knowledge that helps organizations in building their capacity to achieve greater and change effectiveness. This includes employee satisfaction, environmental sustainability and increased financial performances. It also examines assumptions, models, and background of organization development, strategies and other aspects of organization development (OD). I choose this book as it has elaborated the concept of OD to detail as well as its historical evolution in the past 60 years.

The author advocates for mentally ill, sick children, domestic violence victims, and child abuse and neglect victims. Nonprofit human services organizations which function under an ideology that aims at change for the community, individual, nation, region or world through their missions of advocacy and service. Nonprofit agencies sometimes are caught up in competitive environments as they function with not enough or decreasing resources as well as increasing demand for services. The author feels that organizational development efforts will upgrade internal systems management, build organizations capacity and also develop personnel. This article can be useful because it explores some issues applicable to providing organizational development in these nonprofit agencies which serve as a primer to those thinking of issuing organizational development services.

The belief behind much of this research is that organizational culture is a significant social trait that influences individual, group as well as organizational behavior .it is believed to be shared among organizational levels thus influencing the behaviors and attitudes of employees.

This document describes a study that developed a test called the Test for Extraversion Survey (TES) to measure the personality trait of extraversion. The study administered the 20-item TES to a sample of 25 female African American college students. Item analysis was used to select the best items for the final test. Reliability analysis found the test had high internal consistency, with a coefficient alpha of 0.92. Discriminant validity was established between extraversion and measures of shyness and antisocial behavior. Further research is still needed to validate the psychometric properties of the TES.
A systematic literature review on outcomes associated with believing in free ...Will Edwards
Belief in free will is associated with mostly positive outcomes according to a literature review of 65 studies. Regarding behavior towards others, over half of studies found belief in free will facilitated compassion and prosocial actions. In terms of success, half of studies linked belief in free will to adaptive behaviors like academic performance. Additionally, over 90% of studies associated belief in free will with increased subjective well-being, meaning in life, and adaptive attitudes. However, some studies found belief in free will correlated with cruel, antisocial outlooks or maladaptive behaviors depending on context. The review aimed to classify studies precisely while privileging researchers' conclusions over any partisan assessment.

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to examine the Impact of Schemes Designed for Women in Goa on
their Self-Esteem and Psychological Well-Being. The sample consisted of women belonging from the age group 18-
40 years and above. These women belonged to the various talukas of Goa. The sample comprised of 1050 women.
The tools used in this study included Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale developed by Morris Rosenberg and the Ryffs
Psychological Well-Being Scale developed by Carol Ryff. Data was analysed by incorporating the t-test and
ANOVA. The results have shown that women who have availed schemes have shown higher level of self-esteem.
Women who have not faced difficulties in applying for schemes have shown higher psychological well-being and
self-esteem. The studies also revealed that women who have received skill training, have their own business and
are employed in an organization show better psychological well-being and self-esteem in comparison to
housewives. Women who are employed show higher level of self-esteem and psychological well-being compared to
women who are unemployed

Research Study: Age Bias Hiring and The Effectiveness of Providing Prevailing...Eveline Brownstein
Abstract:
Prevailing research shows there are stereotypes associated with age that contribute to hiring bias in favor of younger workers, and that there is little management discourse addressing the imbalance. Additional research suggests that younger managers might avoid hiring older workers because they do not know how to manage them. This research study sought to determine if providing hiring managers aged 29 through 49 with research-based information that challenges some prevailing older worker stereotypes is helpful in reducing age-biased hiring decisions. People responsible for making hiring decisions were randomly assigned to a control and an experimental group and asked to make a hypothetical hiring decision with, or without, equity norming statements. The presence of equity norming statements appeared to lead to a hiring bias in favor of the younger candidate, not seen when the equity norming statements were not present. Equity norming statements may have contributed to bias, rather than improved bias.
