Abstract:	Concerns about interviewer effects in interviewer-mediated surveys have accompanied generations of survey researchers. Following the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework, this dissertation examines interviewer effects in multiple areas of a survey: interviewer effects on estimates of substantive survey variables and interviewer effects on unit nonresponse. The aim is to address whether the same interviewer characteristics are associated with interviewer effects across these multiple error sources. Researchers typically address interviewer effects on a single source of error. Part of the reason for this is that sufficient data on multiple error sources are seldom available in a single survey. Using data from PIAAC Germany 2012, in this dissertation the results of analyses into individual error sources described in the TSE can be combined.
