| Résumé anglais |
Over the past decade, more than 30 situation testing studies have
been conducted in the USA on race, gender, age, and other
forms of discrimination in the labor market. This research has
typically documented discriminatory behavior, conscious or
unconscious, by 20% to 40% of employers. These findings have
influenced public opinion and government policy by publicizing
the continued prevalence of discrimination in a particularly
persuasive way. They have also been used to change employers'
behavior through legal action, and they have added to our
understanding of the psychological and organizational
processes of discrimination. Expanded use of this
investigative technique can contribute importantly toward
addressing the serious problem of employment discrimination in
industrial societies. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
