- - The study examines how having Moebius syndrome, which results in reduced facial expressions, affects job applicant ratings, often leading to stigmatization.
- - Two experiments revealed that participants rated an applicant with Moebius syndrome significantly lower when watching job interview videos without prior information about the condition.
- - When participants were educated about Moebius syndrome or when still images with audio were used, the ratings of the applicant were similar to those without the syndrome, suggesting that informing people can reduce bias in hiring decisions.
