Abstract: This paper measures the effect of interviewers and interviewers'prior expectations on response to threatening questions. The results indicate that interviewers are responsible for an average of about 7% of total response variance, to which expectations contribute a small amount. In most practical situations, interviewer expectations can be ignored.
