The effect of training in verbal self-guidance on the self-efficacy and performance of Native North Americans in the selection interview

摘要

Native North Americans (n = 35) received training in verbal self-guidance (VSG) designed to increase self-efficacy in a selection interview. At the end of the training program, the trainees who acquired skills in VSG had higher self-efficacy than the participants in the control group (n = 31) regarding their interview performance. They also performed better in the selection interview as judged by managers who were blind to the experimental conditions.
