A Field Study of Interviewer Effects on the Quality of Survey Data

J. J. FELDMAN, HERBERT HYMAN and C. W. HART

At the time this article was written, the authors were all on the staff of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. Herbert Hyman is now also a member of the Department of Sociology at Columbia University

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.
