Abstract
The resistance of situational (SI), patterned behaviour description (P BDI), and conventional structured interviews (CSI) to in-group favouri tism was investigated among 68 Canadian francophone managers in Quebec . The stimuli characteristics of the interviewee were held constant ex cept for the language spoken, namely, English or French. Managers who used either the SI or the PBDI did not exhibit a bias. Only the CSI re sulted in managers rating a francophone significantly higher than an a nglophone of equal ability.
