Question

Samantha's rating in a job interview is high in contrast to the candidate who was interviewed directly before her, who was rated extremely low. In this case, Samantha's high rating can be partially attributed to the ________.

Answer 1

B) contrast effect

The contract effect generated by this situation refers to Samantha obtaining a higher job interview rating because the interviewer compared her performance to the very mediocre performance of the previous candidate.

In other words, since the previous guy or girl was such a bad candidate, that Samantha was considered a great candidate by comparing her to the previous guy or girl.
