Chloe conducted a study to investigate whether regional accents affect hiring decisions, exploring a form of accent-based prejudice. She presented participants with identical CVs accompanied by a voice recording of the candidate. One group heard the candidate speaking with Received Pronunciation (RP), while the other group heard the candidate speaking with a strong regional accent. Participants then decided whether to recommend the candidate for hire.
| Received Pronunciation (RP) | Regional Accent | |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended for hire | 18 | 8 |
| Not recommended for hire | 2 | 12 |
