Abstract
This chapter introduces Part III of the book, which presents guidelines for the individual groups participating in international surveys to assist them in handling the socioeconomic questions in the common questionnaire. The groups in question are the central project coordinators, the national research teams, the national fieldwork agencies and their interviewers, the respondents, and the data processing units. The present chapter provides an overview of the specific tasks and responsibilities of these groups and thus prepares the ground for the subsequent chapters.

The main characteristics of standardized interviews are that the interviewer asks each respondent the same questions in the same sequence, that all instructions are applied, that all answers are recorded in the same manner, that the interviewer does not influence the respondent, and that the interviewer does not evaluate the answers.
