Abstract

The article raises the question of the necessity to develop clear procedures and regulations for completing interviews that would allow the interviewer, regardless of the type of interview, not only leave a good impression of himself and maintain an empathic relationship, but also not violate the fundamentals of research ethics and maintain high standards of field work. The reader is provided with a protocol for completing an interview, consisting of five requirements, the fulfillment of which guarantees the successful completion of even the most difficult conversation. We are not talking about a set of instructions; rather, basic recommendations and guidelines are presented, guided by which the interviewer will be able to develop his own communicative techniques for completing the interview. The presented protocol is universal and suitable for qualitative and quantitative interviews.
