On Thursday, November 30, from 12:00 to 13:30, in the Salón de Grados, the lecture "The Chemistry Between Us: Illuminating Complementarity Effects in Interpersonal Assessment via Moment-to-Moment Analyses" will be given by Professor Filip Lievens (Singapore Management University).

Summary: 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.
