  • 소개/요약Over the past decade, an interest in mindfulness research and practice has emerged within industrial‐organizational psychology. Recent studies have indicated the beneficial effects of mindfulness meditation for employee engagement, performance, health, and well‐being (e.g., Dane & Brummel, 2014; Karlin, 2018; Reb, Narayanan, & Ho, 2015). In the current study, we investigated the effects of brief mindfulness‐meditation exposure on interviewee performance in responding to interview questions in an employment interview. Participants were randomly exposed to either a guided mindfulness meditation or a lecture on nutritional benefits of various food sources before participating in a role play that involved reviewing a job description and answering structured interview questions. Participant responses to interview questions were scored by trained raters. Results suggest that participants exposed to brief mindfulness meditation performed better on the interview than those exposed to the nutrition lecture. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
