According to the researchers, they found out that though women experienced more interview anxiety than men, their anxiety didn’t affect their performance as it affects men.



This fact developed the curiosity in the researchers to look further into how there was a difference between men and women at the time of interviews. So, to find out the hidden truth, the researchers conducted simulated interviews on more than 400 students in the University to assess the coping mechanisms on which the students engaged.



During the research, the researchers tailored an instrument that could measure the coping styles of men and women in interviews and through that measurement they found that the women adapted more proactively than men at the interviews.
