A note on interviewer bias

Abstract

11 graduate students, with training in interviewing method, interviewed 40 subjects in an experiment designed to test the findings of Stanton and Baker, (see 16: 4479). In one half of the trials the interviewers knew the "correct" response; in the other half they did not. The conclusion was that the operation of interviewer bias under conditions closely similar to those under which Stanton and Baker found evidence for it was not demonstrated here.
