Discussion 6: Performance Appraisal

For discussion this week, we will be discussing rater bias. Students and employees sometimes complain that ratings of performance are affected by the relationship between the supervisor and rate (in positive or negative ways), and data support this complaint.

Can you recall and instance of this happening to you or someone you know? If so, explain. What happened? What type of error do you think was made (e.g., halo, severity, leniency, etc.)

Do you think this type of bias can be avoided? If so, what can be done?
