1. Do you see what I see? Gendered Differences in Interviewer Assessment

2. Systematic Assessments of Physical Space. Social scientist have taken an interest in how the physical ordering of space plays a role in social and economic development. • (Raudenbush, Reiss and Sampson 1995; Sampson and Raudenbush 1999; Odgers et. al. 2012)

3. Systematic Assessments of Physical Space. • The theoretical concerns for measuring physical space have remained relatively constant. • (Raudenbush, Reiss and Sampson 1995; Sampson and Raudenbush 1999; Odgers et. al. 2012)

4. Systematic Assessments of Physical Space. • The methodsfor assessing physical space have varied. • (Raudenbush, Reiss and Sampson 1995; Sampson and Raudenbush 1999; Odgers et. al. 2012)

5. Systematic Assessments of Physical Space. • Inter-rater reliability and measurement validity have been a consistent problemin assessing social and physical characteristics of space. • (See: Gordon et. al 2013; Armstrong et. al 1997) • (Raudenbush, Reiss and Sampson 1995; Sampson and Raudenbush 1999; Odgers et. al. 2012)

6. Pilot Study. • Empirical Question: • Does gender have an effect on interviewer assessment.

7. Pilot Study. • Empirical Question: • Does gender have an effect on interviewer assessment. • Sample: • ~50 observations from ~20 Interviewers • (About 3 data points per Interviewer.)

8. Pilot Study. • Empirical Question: • Does gender have an effect on interviewer assessment. • Sample: • ~50 observations from ~20 Interviewers • (About 3 data points per Interviewer.) • Interviewers Demographics: • Mid-to-late 20’s; Upper-middle class; MA at a private mid-west University.

9. Pilot Study. • Empirical Question: • Does gender have an effect on interviewer assessment. • Sample: • ~50 observations from ~20 Interviewers • (About 3 data points per Interviewer.) • Interviewers Demographics: • Mid-to-late 20’s; Upper-middle class; MA at a private mid-west University. • Training and Calibration: • Rigorously trained twice a week for an hour and half by a well qualified faculty member; six weeks of training prior to going into the field.

27. Method(s) • Created a gender indicator based on interviewer’s name. • Created a Physical Assessment Scale based on iaq1_1-iaq1_8. • Weighted Male response to represent population. (Men are under represented) • Regressed on the Physical Assessment Scale. • Slides and Code available: • Home.uchicago.edu/~/dgourdin/Do_You_See/
