Ethnicity-of-Interviewer Effects on Ethnic Respondents

MICHAEL F. WEEKS and R. PAUL MOORE

Michael F. Weeks is a Senior Survey Specialist and R. Paul Moore is Director of the Survey Operations Center at the Research Triangle Institute P. O. Box 12194, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709

Considerable research has been reported on race-of-interviewer effects in white/black dichotomies. Little is known, however, about interviewer effects on respondents representing other ethnic groups. This article reports on a 1975 study of ethnicity-of-interviewer effects among four ethnic minorities (Cubans, Chicanos, Native Americans, and Chinese) and suggests that the findings for blacks and whites are generalizable to other ethnic groups as well.
