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

该奖项为“从总调查误差的角度来看采访者及其影响”的国际会议提供支持。“会议将于2019年2月在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校举行。会议将重点关注调查员作为调查错误来源的研究以及该主题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具有重要意义的成果，并将制定关于访谈者影响的研究议程，包括研究和培训访谈者的最佳做法。它将进一步明确界定研究设计和评估方法的研究访谈效果的教学目标，它将促进初级学者，研究生和新的研究人员进入这一重要领域。通过汇集来自学术界、政府和工业界的知名学者、学生和从业人员，本次会议将允许将调查结果立即转化为调查实践，建立研究基础设施，并提高调查人员收集的调查数据的质量。会议的发言将广为散发。他们将在一个可公开访问的档案中提供，在科学出版社的编辑卷中出版，并开发成专业协会的短期课程。研究人员将在2019年春季来到内布拉斯加州林肯大学参加为期三天的跨学科会议。 会议将包括研究报告和讨论的混合。会议的目标是为学术，政府和行业研究人员和从业人员提供一个论坛，讨论方法，实用见解和研究结果。会议的主要主题将是综合和扩大关于面试官对多种错误来源的影响的知识，评估和传播研究面试官的研究设计和估计方法，并整合研究和实践的证据，为未来的访谈者研究制定议程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

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.
