Impression management in multi-faceted ways is used on both sides to favourably influence the other party's opinion, leaning towards the potential employment contract being closed. Inflation of job titles or faking of situations experienced and mastered by the applicant, up to the point of telling sheer lies in order to impress and secure a vacancy in a tight job market. Based on a literature review supported by exploratory empirical cross-sectional research, this paper will discuss different levels of deceit during several stages of the employment selection process.

Since the effects of the biases are not fully understood nor fully valued, this paper is exploring the topic further. Objectives: The paper illustrates the mediating effect of cognitive biases on decision-making (DV = dependent variable) based on global environmental issues concerning natural disasters (IV = independent variable in the form of flooding). Natural disasters from three continents are displayed and bio-sensory data was collected to measure participants' biological responses to the video clips shown. The decision-making (DV) following these displayed events (IV) is mediated by possible cognitive biases present during the decision-making process (here how personal or public funding is distributed in a simulation). Based on these situations evaluated merely centered around media coverage, subjects make decisions on relief funding, similar to how UN decision-makers are appropriating emergency response funds. Ultimately, the study shows that the personal impact perceived by individuals and their respective nations through natural disasters or crises is moderated by cognitive bias. Methodology (what was done, how was it done) and validation: The study is based on a between-subject design of three groups of participants including subjects from Asia, Africa, and Europe. Utilizing different biosensors (eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and galvanic skin responses), biodata visualizations and statistics are collected and their correlation to decision-making was examined. Subjects are composed of a convenience sample of tertiary education students in southern Bavaria, aged 18-35 years. Validation takes place based on standard quality criteria measures. Major results: Decision-making is based on a perceived needs basis (social security, economy, and support system in the country) and mediated through cognitive biases based on similarity to own cultural, ethnic, and geographical background. Conclusion: Research shows that cognitive bias is omnipresent with an ethnocentric focus on decision-making.
