Applicants for telemarketing jobs were assigned to 4 groups (32 each): (1) standard interview (control group); (2) job-specific realistic job preview; (3) nonspecific expectation-lowering procedure; and (4) both treatments 2 and 3. All three treatment groups had significantly lower expectations but not higher retention. Combined treatment resulted in the largest number of days worked. (Contains 30 references.) (SK)
