    Jacob J Feldman, Herbert Hyman et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1951Cited by: 16

    A 1949 Denver community survey on civic problems and voting habits had two hidden primary purposes: to measure the truthfulness of respondents' answers to questions of fact, and to ascertain the differences in results on a wide range of questions obtained by interviewers of known characteristics. The present article, the second in a series, examines the results of the survey in terms of the latter of these two purposes

  • The Biasing Effect of Interviewer Expectations on Survey Result

    Harry L Smith, Herbert Hyman et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1950Cited by: 6

    An experiment was performed to test the hypothesis that interviewer expectations as to the organized 'structure of the respondent's attitudes distort survey results through errors in recording. It indicates that interviewers often record the answer they expect to hear, rather than the answer which is actually given. These expectation effects also tend to reduce the validity of the results and, in this instance at least, interviewer expectations h…

  • Problems in the Collection of Opinion-Research Data

    Herbert Hyman, Herbert H HymanARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1950Cited by: 1

    A central problem in the collection of data is the effect of interviewer on the quality of the results. This paper describes research findings of the National Opinion Research Center's project on the isolation, measurement, and control of interviewer effect. Variations in results derive from interviewer fallibility, unreliability of respondents, and, finally, interactional processes. Disparities in the group memberships of interviewer and respond…

  • Interviewer Effects in the Classification of Responses

    Herbert Stember, Herbert Hyman et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1949Cited by: 3

    In the course of a larger study on interviewer effect in polling, tests were made to determine whether the device of having interviewers classify responses in the field gave results different from those obtained when responses were recorded verbatim. The data indicate that, with one exception, field classification does not alter the over-all results of a survey. There is a tendency, however, for inexperienced interviewers to allow their biases to…

  • Interviewer Performance in Area Sampling

    Dean Manheimer, Herbert Hyman et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1949Cited by: 5

    Area sampling is subject to appreciable error due to interviewer performance, even in a carefully supervised survey. This conclusion is suggested by the following study, which finds that interviewers can easily make conscious or unconscious errors in listing dwelling units and in the selection of the sample of dwelling units. There is also a possibility of interviewer error in the selection of individuals within dwelling units. Mr. Manheimer, unt…
