Abstract
The credibility 360-degree feedback may be threatened by perceived race bias. Analysis of black and white raters' and ratees' performance ratings showed psychological similarity was more important to effectiveness for different-race than for same-race pairs; and psychological similarity and attractiveness were more important to effectiveness for white than black ratees. Implications are discussed.
