Selection interview in Social Psychology is a process of social influence. In order to achieve greater chance of being hired, applicants would in general present self-related information in active and selective way to shape better impressions of the interviewers. Past researches in the main focused on exploring the influence of applicants, self-presentation strategies on interview ratings and decision from the perspective of the interviewers. Recent years have witnessed more and more researchers investigating self-presentation behaviors from the applicants' side, including self-presentation difference from similar constructs such as impression management and faking, the impact of assessment of situational demands, self-presentational tactics, motivation, and self-regulation on self-presentation behavior, the last of which affects, in turn, the interview rating and validity. Nevertheless, unambiguous construct, localization and adaption of measurement and antecedents of self-presentation still need to be explored in future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
