De effecten van interviewer- en respondentkenmerken op antwoordgedrag in survey-onderzoek: een multilevel-benadering

Samenvatting

Examines a new approach to the study of interviewer effects, which emphasizes the conditioning influence of interviewer characteristics on respondent answering processes, rather than the direct effects of interviewer characteristics on respondent responses. Data collected in the Longitudinal Aging Study (N = 2,838 respondents & 43 interviewers) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, reveal that respondent-specific parameters are related to interviewer-specific variables: all response items were found to depend on respondent characteristics, but the means of worthfulness, hopefulness, & pleasure in life were all affected by interviewer age, & the means of worthfulness was affected by perceptions of interviewer security. 3 Tables, 3 Figures, 4 Appendixes, 22 References.
