“…A review of the literature on interviewer effect (Schaeffer et al, 2010 ) found that survey questions which were attitudinal, sensitive, ambiguous, complex or open‐ended were more likely to introduce variable interviewer effects. POS questions are not open‐ended but some could be classed as sensitive (e.g., do you think you are important to your family?…”

BackgroundThe Personal Outcomes Scale (POS) is a scale developed to measure quality of life of adults (18+) with intellectual disability. Previous studies have reported good fit for Spanish and Portuguese language versions of POS.AimsThis study aimed to evaluate the factor structure of the English language version of POS when used to measure the quality of life of adults (18+) with intellectual disability in the UK.Materials and MethodsAnalysis was conducted on POS data from 310 adults with an intellectual disability. First and second order factor models and multi‐level models were used to assess fit.ResultsThere was poor fit to the data for all tested models. We estimated that 23% of variance in POS scores was accounted for by interviewer cluster.DiscussionThis was the first UK‐based evaluation of POS and our data did not confirm the factor structure of the POS measure. The identification of systematic variability within the dataset indicates that inter‐rater reliability is a potential limitation of the POS tool.ConclusionFurther research is needed to investigate inter‐rater reliability of POS interviewers and to explore factor structure.

“…An interview guide containing non-repetitive, detailed questions on all required data points was designed [82]. As interviews can be susceptible to interviewer bias due to tone of voice or question wording [83], training sessions were conducted with the research assistant to standardize data collection. The research assistant was a local community member familiar with norms and customs, facilitating trust-building and engagement with respondents [84].…”

Self-reliance is essential for community-based rural tourism (CBRT), ensuring effective running in the long term. However, existing studies have focused on general self-reliance conditions while overlooking details surrounding the community’s self-reliance in each activity of the CBRT value chain. This study filled this significant gap by observing community self-reliance in CBRT and considering the tourism value chain (TVC) framework. Built upon the abduction method, this study applied the systematic combining approach to observe three aspects of self-reliance, i.e., goals or objectives, rights and abilities, and owned resources, in the TVC of CBRT entities. Taking the case of CBRT in Sleman Regency, Indonesia, the data collection involved representatives of 49 community-based tourism villages (desa wisata). The results showed that observing community self-reliance in CBRT allows for the identification of multifaceted self-reliance problems in rural tourism communities. Apparently, the observed CBRT initiatives are unable to achieve complete self-sufficiency across all aspects of self-reliance. Reliance on external collaboration and support networks persists out of necessity rather than an inability to self-manage. Policy protections, capacity building, and collaborative partnerships are necessary to develop resilient and sustainable rural tourism amidst necessary dependencies. CBRT planning and policies should hence consider the abovementioned aspects of self-reliance to empower CBRT toward sustainable rural development.

“…In face-to-face interviews, standardized interviewer behavior is essential to data-quality (Loosveldt 2008). Standardized interviewing requires the interviewer to read the questions accurately as worded, and to follow the given script (Schaeffer 2018;Schwarz et al 2008). Although the impact of accurate reading of questions on survey data quality is unclear, " […] good interviewer behavior should not only be measured in terms of response rates, but more closely monitor their actual behavior in the interaction with respondents" (Bergmann/Bristle 2016, 25).…”

Austria has been a member country of SHARE since its inception in 2004. In this paper, we address quality management in surveys and highlight three components-contract, sampling, and fieldwork management-that are fundamental for high data-quality. We provide an overview of a SHARE wave and discuss our approach to data-quality management based on the example of SHARE management in Austria. Results confirm that focusing on fieldwork quality management has the potential to improve overall data quality.
