Resumen
Descripción
This paper examines how easily
observable interviewer characteristics, such as gender and
physical attractiveness, and more difficult to observe
characteristics, such as attitudes and beliefs, affect
adolescent girls' disclosure of sexual behavior during
a baseline survey for an adolescent girls program in
Liberia. The study finds that girls are more likely to
report sexual activity to better-looking interviewers, and
less likely to do so to interviewers holding more
discriminatory gender attitudes and greater expectations
about the program. The study finds no evidence that the
gender of the interviewer matters.
