Fundamentally, they stem form limitations on the number, accuracy, and scope of observations, and their solution consists of finding the most effective way of conducting research under these restrictions. There is no universally \"best\" method of sampling; the technique must be designed to fit the particular circumstances of each situation.

This paper describes research findings of the National Opinion Research Center's project on the isolation, measurement, and control of interviewer effect. Variations in results derive from interviewer fallibility, unreliability of respondents, and, finally, interactional processes. Disparities in the group memberships of interviewer and respondent affect the results; beliefs the interviewer has about the respondent produce expectations which in turn affect results. Experiments on the role of situational factors in mediating interviewer effects and on the validity of interviewer data are describred.","PeriodicalId":86247,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of sociology","volume":"55 4","pages":"362-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1950-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24711649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its attainment of political significance was accompanied and facilitated by certain changes in the economic and convivial institutions of society and by shifts in social stratification. In its early phase public opinion was preoccupied with domestic affairs, but during the French Revolutionary wars and after the Congress of Vienna the utilization of public opinion in international affairs, became generally respectable among statesmen. Effective government by public opinion in the field of foreign affairs today is jeopardized by various specified characteristics of modern democratic civilization.","PeriodicalId":86247,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of sociology","volume":"55 4","pages":"376-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1950-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/220561","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24711650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A series of analytical questions to be used in a survey of recent class materials is proposed to aid in the discovering of common ground. These questions revolve around definition, which may be in terms of economic power, status ascription, group life, cultural attributes, political power, or their combination; ascertainment, or class placement; defferences; social mobility; and the relationship of class to ethnic stratification.","PeriodicalId":86247,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of sociology","volume":"55 3","pages":"262-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1949-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/220535","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24700945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
