The Psychology of the Interview

Abstract

IN recent years psychologists have come increasingly to realize that the proper conduct of an interview is one of their basic techniques, whether it is used for supplementing experiment or as itself the chief tool of inquiry. Some parts of Mr. Oldfield's brief study bear on the psychological nature of interviewing in general, but in spite of its comprehensive title the book is in the main limited to the interviewing of candidates for employment, in itself an important enough topic to justify the closest study.
