Job-irrelevant interviewer biases
The following are personal and 
demographic characteristics that can potentially influence interviewer 
evaluations of interviewee responses. These factors are typically not 
relevant to whether the individual can do the job (that is, not related to 
job 
performance
), thus, their influence on interview ratings should be 
minimized or excluded. In fact, there are laws in many countries that 
prohibit consideration of many of these protected classes of people when 
making selection decisions. Using structured interviews with multiple 
interviewers coupled with training may help reduce the effect of the 
following characteristics on interview ratings. The list of job-irrelevant 
interviewer biases is presented below.

Essential role of social research
Essay 
Social research is a critical foundation for programs that seek 
to engage communities in change and in the development of more 
sustainable societies. Without appropriate research, programs aimed 
at change are likely to be based on implicit or assumed problem 
identification and/or inferred community needs and wishes. If we 
are to achieve community participation in activities that lead to real 
change, research to find out about those communities is the first 
step. Over the past ten years the NSW Department of Environment 
and Conservation (DEC) has developed a considerable body of 
social research, conducted with both the general community and 
specific community segments, to underpin its environmental 
education programs. This paper includes a review of some models 
for integrating social research into education programs, and 
examines the extent to which social research has impacted on both 
the environmental education programs and the organisational 
culture of the DEC. From this are drawn learnings from the 
perspective of a major State environmental agency, about the 
integration of social research into any program or organisation 
seeking to achieve social change towards sustainability. As well as 
program specific benefits, the ultimate outcome of this process is to 
assist in producing an organisational culture which values evidence-
based decision-making and develops policies and structures that

incorporate a social research dimension into both programs and 
policy. 
Why social research is important for our society? 
Put simply,
