What Do Administrators Think Citizens Think? Administrator Predictions as an Adjunct to Citizen Surveys.

Melkers, Julia; Thomas, John Clayton

Public Administration Review, v58 n4 p327-34 Jul-Aug 1998

Predictions of 60 public administrators about citizen views were compared with interviews of 2257 citizens. Findings show that administrators tend to be pessimistic about citizen evaluations and that administrator predictions are worth considering as an additional component to citizen surveys.
