過去實證研究發現性別是影響面談評價的重要因素，但有關面試官與應徵者性別組合對面談評價的影響，尚未出現一致性的研究發現。為解答此不一致，本研究指出面試官年齡對於面試官與應徵者性別組合與面談評價的關係存在干擾作用。問卷調查大學教師擔任教師聘用面談的經驗，分析 218份有效問卷獲得以下發現：高於四十歲的女性面試官對女性應徵者的評價顯著低於其它性別組合，而低於四十歲的面試官則未出現上述現象。換言之，本研究結果顯示「女王蜂症候群」較存在於相對較高年齡的女性，然而此結果是否反映不同世代的差異，仍有待後續研究釐清。

Past empirical studies found that gender is one of the important factors that influenceinterviewers’ evaluations on interviewees. However, research findings regarding the impact of interviewer-applicant gender combination on interview evaluation have not beenconsistent. To resolve the inconsistency, this study proposed that the relationship betweeninterviewer-applicant gender combination and interview evaluation is moderated by theinterviewer’s age level. We sampled 218 professors in universities and the results showedthat female interviewers tend to give lower evaluations to female applicants as opposed to other interviewer-interviewee gender combination when the interviewer was above fortyyears old. Our study results evidenced the so-called “queen bee syndrome” existing in arelatively high age group. However, whether this finding was due to differences acrossgenerations deserves further investigations.
