Next Thursday, November 30, Professor Filip Lievens (Singapore Management University) will give the talk "The Chemistry Between Os: Illuminating Complementarity Effects in Interpersonal Assessment via Moment-tone-Moment  "Analyses".

Short abstract of the talk/seminar:
In talent assessment and selection methods (e.g., interviews, role-play simulations), interpersonal interactions play a central role. Applicants’ interpersonal skills are typically assessed via single-point, retrospective assessor or self-ratings. This may be problematic. In this presentation, the lens of Interpersonal Complementarity Theory is used to advance our understanding of interpersonal dynamics in mini assessment center exercises (i.e., multiple, speeded role-plays) via a fine-grained examination of how behavior continuously unfolds.
