Question

11. John rates Peter an average worker, “excellent” on all his performance evaluations. The rest of staff suspects that Peter gets high ratings because he graduated from the same prestigious university and was a member of the same fraternity as John. If this were accurate, what rating error has the staff identified? Explain your answer

Answer 1

Considering the situation described in the question, if the allegations were accurate, the rating error the staff identified is known as the "Similarity Bias" error.

• This is because the Similarity Bias is a type of rating error where the rater rates a person or candidate higher than he deserves because they shared or have some similarities like having played for the same football team or attended the same school.

• There are other types of rating bias that do not apply to this situation.

• These include Halo bias and Leniency bias.

Hence in this case the correct answer is "Similarity Bias"
