Conference: Interviewers and Their Effects from a Total Survey Error Perspective

该奖项为一次国际会议提供支持，主题是“从总调查误差的角度看面试者及其影响”。大会将于2019年2月在内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校举行。会议将重点研究面试者作为调查误差来源的问题，以及对这一专题的研究对调查实践的影响。它将汇集来自美国和其他国家的多达50名学者。会议将产生对调查方法和相关社会科学领域重要的成果，并将制定关于面试者影响的研究议程，包括研究和培训面试者的最佳做法。它将通过明确描述面试者效应研究的研究设计和评估方法来进一步实现教学目标，并将培养初级学者、研究生和新的研究人员进入这一重要领域。通过聚集来自学术界、政府和工业界的知名学者、学生和从业人员，这次会议将允许立即将调查结果转化为调查实践，建设研究基础设施，并将提高访谈者收集的调查数据的质量。会议演示文稿将广泛传播。研究人员将在2019年春季来到内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校参加为期三天的跨学科会议。会议将包括研究报告和讨论。会议的目标是为学术、政府和行业研究人员和从业者提供一个论坛，讨论面试者的方法、实践见解和研究结果。会议的主要主题将是综合和扩大关于面试者对多种误差源的影响的知识，评估和传播研究面试者的研究设计和评估方法，并整合来自研究和实践的证据，为未来的面试者研究制定议程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for an international conference on "Interviewers and Their Effects from a Total Survey Error Perspective." The conference will be held in February 2019 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The conference will focus on the study of interviewers as a source of survey error and the implications of research on this topic for survey practice. It will bring together up to 50 scholars from the US and other countries. The conference will produce results important to survey methodology and related social science fields and will develop a research agenda on interviewer effects, including best practices for studying and training interviewers. It will further pedagogical goals by clearly delineating study design and estimation approaches for the study of interviewer effects, and it will foster the entrance of junior scholars, graduate students, and new researchers to this important area. By bringing together established scholars, students, and practitioners from academia, government, and industry, this conference will permit immediate translation of findings into survey practice, will build research infrastructure, and will improve the quality of survey data collected by interviewers. Conference presentations will be widely disseminated. They will be made available in a publicly accessible archive, published in an edited volume from a scientific press, and developed into a short course for professional associations.Researchers will come to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during Spring 2019 to participate in a three-day interdisciplinary conference. The conference will include a mix of research presentations and discussion. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for academic, government, and industry researchers and practitioners to discuss methods, practical insights, and research findings on interviewers. The major themes of the conference will be synthesizing and expanding knowledge about the impact of interviewers on multiple error sources, evaluating and disseminating study design and estimation approaches for studying interviewers, and integrating evidence from research and practice to produce an agenda for future studies of interviewers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
