There has been a recent emphasis in the psychological literature upon the experimenter as a variable in research. (Masling, 1966; Rosenthal, 1966) These studies have implications for the teacher, counselor, or community service worker. Interviewer variables which are now assumed to affect a subject's perfonnance during an interview include sex, age, religion, socio-economic status, anxiety level, birth order, authoritarianism, interview experience, and interpersonal warmth. Subjects and interviewers react to one another. Thus, it is likely that males and females, blacks and whites, young and old, respond differently to each other in various combinations. This influence is likely to extend from the laboratory to the clinical, school, and public service setting
