Test Procedure Bias: A Meta-Analysis of Examiner Familiarity Effects.
Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S.
Review of Educational Research, v56 n2 p243-62 Sum 1986
Based on data from 22 controlled studies, this article presents a meta-analysis of the effects of examiner familiarity on children's test performance. It was found that examiner familiarity raised scores especially when subjects were: (1) of low socioeconomic status; (2) tested on difficult tests; and (3) knew the examiner for a long duration.
