Using the framework of communication accomodation theory, this study investigated the extent to which job applicants objectively and subjectively altered their accents to converge to or diverge from the speech style of the interviewer. Forty - eight male and 48 female job applicants participated in two itnerviews for a casual research assistant position. In one interview, the interviewer had a borad australian english accent and in the other one, the itnerviewer had a cultivated accent. Applicants showed broader accents with broad - accented itnerviewers than with cultivated - accented itnerviewers. Applicants did not converge to the cultivated - accented interviewers, however and male job applicants were more likely than were females to diverge from the cultivated - accented interviewers. There were also discrepancies between objectivel rated changes to applicants' accents and their subjective judgements about the extent of accent accomodation.
