Başarılı ve başarısız mizahın sergilendiği iki farklı işealım mülakatı, bir kadın ve bir erkek aday tarafından canlandırılmıştır.

Algılanan özgüven açısından fark oluşmazken, başarılı mizah sergileyen kadın veerkek adayın yeterlilik düzeyinin, başarısız mizah durumuna nazaran daha yüksek olarak algılandığıbelirlenmiştir. Başarılı mizah sergilenmesi durumunda, cinsiyetin anlamlı bir fark yaratmadığı,ancak başarısız mizah durumunda, erkek adayın yeterlilik düzeyinin kadın adaya nazaran daha düşükalgılandığı görülmüştür.
