TY - JOUR AU - Pulakos, Elaine D. AB - 108 undergraduates were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental groups to rate videotaped performances of several managers talking with a problem subordinate. The research employed a single-factor experimental design in which rater error training (RET), rater accuracy training (RAT), rating error and accuracy training (RET/RAT), and no training were compared for 2 rating errors (halo and leniency) and accuracy of performance evaluations. Differences in program effectiveness for various performance dimensions were also assessed. Results show that RAT yielded the most accurate ratings and no-training the least accurate ratings. The presence of error training (RET or RET/RAT) was associated with reduced halo, but the presence of accuracy training (RAT or RET/RAT) was associated with less leniency. Dimensions × Training interactions revealed that training was not uniformly effective across the rating dimensions.
