本研究报告的两组调查结果有关的采访者的影响，来自全国RDD样本的成年人口。其中第一个问题的整体合作率的面试官的特点和期望的影响;第二，面试官的特点和期望项目无响应和响应质量的影响。我们发现，面试官的年龄，面试任务的大小，和面试官的期望都有很强的整体合作率的影响，在这个样本中的经验响应率的关系是曲线。年龄和教育有一致的，但统计学上不显着的项目无应答的影响。面试官的期望对面试中的反应的影响类似于早期的研究，但不太明显，也不太一致。埃莉诺·辛格是社会科学中心的高级研究员。马丁河弗兰克尔是纽约市立大学巴鲁克学院的统计学教授。马克B。格拉斯曼是纽约市的一名独立统计顾问。作者要感谢艾德布莱尔，查尔斯F。坎内尔、霍华德舒曼和西摩苏德曼阅读并评论了这篇论文的早期草稿。这项研究是通过向资深作者授予SES-78-19797而得以实现的。《民意季刊》第47卷：68-83页？1983年由哥伦比亚大学受托人出版的爱思唯尔科学出版有限公司。0033- 362 X/83/0047-68/$2.50本内容于2016年4月27日星期三06：33：38 UTC从157.55.39.67下载所有使用http://about.jstor.org/terms约束面试者特征的影响69次面试，通常较少的面试者进行大量的面试。因此，每个面试官的表现对回答率和回答质量的影响被放大了许多倍。与此同时，电话调查中的每个采访者都可以被分配到随机的受访者样本中，这使得调查这种影响变得更容易，并避免了Singer和Kohnke-Aguirre以及Sudman等人的研究中的方法学弱点。即区域和采访者的混淆
This study reports on two sets of findings related to interviewer effects, derived from a national RDD sample of the adult population. The first of these concerns the effect of interviewer characteristics and expectations on overall cooperation rates; the second, the effect of interviewer characteristics and expectations on item nonresponse and response quality. We found that interviewers' age, the size of the interviewing assignment, and interviewers' expectations all had a strong effect on overall cooperation rates; the relation of experience to response rate was curvilinear in this sample. Age and education have consistent but statistically insignificant effects on item nonresponse. The effect of interviewers' expectations on responses within the interview resembles that in earlier studies, but is less pronounced and less consistent.

Consequently, the effect of each interviewer's performance on response rate and response quality is magnified many times. At the same time, the fact that each interviewer on a telephone survey can be assigned to a random sample of respondents makes such effects easier to investigate and avoids the methodological weaknesses plaguing the studies by Singer and Kohnke-Aguirre and by Sudman et al., namely, the confounding of area and interviewer
