Realistic Job Previews (RJPs) have been studied by researchers and utilized by practitioners to attenuate early turnover by providing both positive and negative information pertaining to a job and organization to job applicants. Historically, RJPs have suffered from several criticisms including modest effect sizes (Phillips, 1998), cost of development (Buckley et al. 1998), and adverse self-selection effects (Bretz & Judge, 1998). Recently, the expectancy lowering procedure (ELP) has been developed and tested to address these limitations of the RJP. This study compared the RJP and the ELP in terms of applicant self-selection and expectations. Results indicated consistent findings with past RJP literature in terms of expectation calibration. However, no support was found for the self-selection effect. Furthermore, the ELP demonstrated results consistent with Buckley et al. (2002) as a useful, generalized realistic recruitment procedure that was also resistant to adverse self-selection.
