The exact change
"There is no evidence that being visibly nervous during an interview leads to worse evaluations when candidates compensate with strong content and clear thinking. The research suggests interviewers are quite good at separating anxious presentation from low competence, particularly for senior roles." - Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, citing interview validation research --- Physiological sigh: Two quick inhales through the nose followed by a long exhale through the mouth. Research from Stanford suggests this is one of the fastest ways to reduce acute physiological stress.
Being visibly nervous during an interview does not necessarily lead to worse evaluations when candidates compensate with strong content and clear thinking. Interviewers are often reasonably good at separating anxious presentation from low competence, particularly for senior roles. --- Physiological sigh: Two quick inhales through the nose followed by a long exhale through the mouth. Research by Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and physician-scientist David Spiegel found this technique to be one of the fastest ways to reduce acute physiological stress.
Suggested change
De-attributed and softened the overreaching psychologist quote to a defensible, non-categorical claim; corrected the vague Stanford attribution to properly name the real researchers (Huberman and Spiegel) behind the verified-accurate physiological sigh research.
Why this is better
De-attributed and softened the overreaching 'Industrial-Organizational Psychologist' quote's categorical 'no evidence' claim to a defensible, non-categorical statement. Corrected the vague 'Research from Stanford' attribution to properly name the real researchers, Andrew Huberman and David Spiegel, behind the verified-accurate physiological sigh research.
