are spectacles the female equivalent of beards for men how wearing spectacles in a linkedin Profile Picture influences impressions of perceived credibility and job interview likelihood
International Conference on HCI in Business, 2015Co-Authors: Sarah Van Der Land, Lotte M Willemsen, Suzanne A J UnkelAbstract:This study builds on our previous work on beardedness [1] and explores whether wearing spectacles in a LinkedIn Profile Picture affects a female candidate’s prospects of being invited for a job interview and whether this is contingent on the type of job vacancy. Results of a 2 (spectacle use: spectacles versus no spectacles) × 3 (job type: expertise, trustworthiness, attractiveness) experiment conducted among 139 participants show that bespectacled candidates are perceived as having more expertise and –to our surprise- also being more attractive than candidates not wearing spectacles. Moreover, a candidate’s perceived credibility is a significant predictor of the intention to invite the candidate for a job interview. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

HCI (18) - To shave or not to shave? How beardedness in a Linkedin Profile Picture influences perceived expertise and job interview prospects
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2014Co-Authors: Sarah Van Der Land, Daan G. MuntingaAbstract:This study explores whether wearing a beard in a LinkedIn Profile Picture affects a candidate's prospects of being invited for a job interview and whether this is contingent on the type of job vacancy. Based on Ohanian's (1990) three sub dimensions of credibility, three different job vacancies were constructed: (1) architect for an expertise-job, (2) back cashier officer for a trustworthiness-job, and (3) sales representative for an attractiveness-job. Results of a 2 (candidate: beard versus no beard) x 3 (job type: expertise, trustworthiness, attractiveness) experiment conducted among 216 participants show that bearded candidates are perceived as having more expertise than clean-shaven candidates. Moreover, a candidate's perceived expertise is a significant predictor of the intention to invite the candidate for a job interview. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Boundaries to the articulation of possible selves through social networking sites: the case of Facebook Profilers' social connectedness
Cyberpsychology behavior and social networking, 2011Co-Authors: Sandra Zwier, Theo Araujo, Mark Boukes, Lotte M WillemsenAbstract:Abstract This study aims to contribute to an emerging literature that seeks to understand how identity markers on social networking sites (SNSs) shape interpersonal impressions, and particularly the boundaries that SNSs present for articulating unconstrained “hoped-for possible selves.” An experiment employing mock-up Facebook Profiles was conducted, showing that appearing with friends on a Facebook Profile Picture as well as increasingly higher number of Facebook friends strengthened perceptions of a Profiler's hoped-for level of social connectedness. Excessive numbers of friends, however, weakened perceptions of a Profiler's real-level social connectedness, particularly among participants with smaller social networks on Facebook themselves. The discussion focuses on when people come to find that reasonable boundaries of self-generated information on an SNS have been exceeded.
