Affective disposition and the letter of reference

Article Abstract:

An association between affective disposition and favorability of letters of reference exists. The length of letter was related to the judged favorability of the letter of recommendation. However, in the laboratory study, letter length partly intervenes between the link between affective disposition and letter of favorability. For employers, letters of reference cannot always be taken as completely impartial reports about the applicant's worthiness for the position.
