166-21 E-Screening: The Consequences of Using “Smileys” When E-Mailing Prospective Employers
This study examines perceptions of applicants who use “smileys.” Using smileys evokes feminine stereotypes (e.g., warmth), which comes at a cost. When applying for male-gender-typed jobs, applicants using smileys are perceived to be lower in competence and agentic behaviors (e.g., independence). This reduces starting pay rates for applicants using smileys.

175-8 Why Do Overqualified Incumbents Deviate? Examining Multiple Mediators
We extended prior research on perceived overqualification by examining the long theorized link between overqualification and workplace deviance. We integrated person–job fit and frustration-aggression theories into demonstrating that overqualified incumbents transgress because they become cynical. We also ruled out alternative explanations (i.e., poor person–job fit, psychological contract).

186-4 Observing Workplace Aggression: What Intervention Strategies Should I Use?
Using a video vignette study, we explored observer intervention in incidents of workplace aggression. Results indicate that the organizational power of aggressors, observers’ genders, and perceived harm to the victims determine whether employees would direct their intervention strategies at aggressors, victims, and/or management. We discuss implications for research and practice.

200-1 Reference Group Effects in the Measurement of Personality and Attitudes
Reference-group effects significantly impact findings in cross-cultural psychology but are also likely to occur in research and selection contexts. We examine the impact of these effects on personality and attitude measurement and find, in 2 studies, that reference group effects lead to a significant reduction in criterion-related validities.

Temporal Illusions in Cross-Sectional Research
Lack of progress in time-based research is attributed to researchers’ belief that cross-sectional research can reveal relations between variables over time. A discussion of mediator and moderator models supported by empirical examples shows that this is an illusion. There is no cross-sectional substitute to the study of time in I-O psychology.

213-1 Effect of Supervisors’ Personality on Evaluations of Subordinate Effectiveness
This study investigated how supervisor personality directly influences judgments of employee effectiveness. Relationships between personality and judgments of effectiveness for work behaviors were assessed via a policy-capturing design. Results show partial support for the idea that supervisors value trait-expressive work behaviors more when they possess elevated levels of those traits.

213-5 Understanding the Individual-Level Adaptation Process: A Dynamic Approach
This study proposed a dynamic adaptation model. A 4 (warning) X 2 (change) between-subjects design with repeated measures was used to evaluate hypotheses using multilevel modeling as the analytic approach. As predicted, the change manipulation impacted performance, switching, and process reactions. Unexpectedly, hypotheses testing trait predictors were not supported.

213-6 A Multitrait–Multimethod Approach to Isolating Judgment From Situational Judgment
Researchers question what is measured by situational judgment tests (SJTs). The position of this study is that SJTs are both measures and constructs. Using the multitrait-multimethod design, this study hypothesized that a judgment construct would be found. Results did not support the hypothesis. Implications for SJTs are discussed.

213-11 Felt Stress Mediates the Relationship Between Stressors and Performance
The challenge/hindrance stress literature has focused on the qualitative differences of the stressors leading to differential outcomes. However, we predict that it is the perceptions of the different stressors that lead to differences in effort and performance through the appraisal of stressors (i.e., felt stress).
