Problem: Please summarize the following text.
In BDIs, applicants receive descriptions of situations that employees have typically experienced within the context of work (Janz, 1982). Interviewers present the description and ask applicants to describe a corresponding or similar situation in their past working experience, and to report their personal feelings and behavior in this situation. Responses are rated on behaviorally anchored rating scales (Klehe and Latham, 2006). BDIs are a popular method in personnel selection and can predict performance across different domains (Culbertson et al., 2017). BDIs have three advantages over SJTs. First, interviewers serve as an additional information source, because they can specify, interpret, and evaluate the information provided by the applicant. Second, BDIs use an open-ended response format, which allows applicants to share more information of themselves and thereby provide a richer information base (Van Iddekinge et al., 2005; Raymark and Van Iddekinge, 2013). As interviewees' answers are rated directly after the interview on behaviorally anchored rating scales, this results in a quantitative data format. Third, the cognitive demand of BDIs should make them the least prone to self-distortion. Need Assignment Help?
