    Abstract

    The World Values Survey (www.worldvaluessurvey.org) is a global network of social scientists studying changing values and their impact on social and political life, led by an international team of scholars, with the WVS association and secretariat headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The survey, which started in 1981, seeks to use the most rigorous, high-quality research designs in each country. The WVS consists of nationally representative surveys conducted in almost 100 countries which contain almost 90 percent of the world’s population, using a common questionnaire. The WVS is the largest non-commercial, cross-national, time series investigation of human beliefs and values ever executed, currently including interviews with almost 400,000 respondents. Moreover the WVS is the only academic study covering the full range of global variations, from very poor to very rich countries, in all of the world’s major cultural zones. The WVS seeks to help scientists and policy makers understand changes in the beliefs, values and motivations of people throughout the world. Thousands of political scientists, sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists and economists have used these data to analyze such topics as economic development, democratization, religion, gender equality, social capital, and subjective well-being. These data have also been widely used by government officials, journalists and students, and groups at the World Bank have analyzed the linkages between cultural factors and economic development.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    Sample size: 1280
    The sampling method applied was stratified according to criteria and Random Multi- Stage in the selection process of the sampling units. After stratifying the nation geographically and by size of
    community in order to insure conformity of the sample with the latest available estimates by National Census of the distribution of the adult population, 262 different sampling locations or areas were selected on a random basis. The interviewers had no choice whatsoever concerning the part of the city in which they conduct their interviews. Approximately five interviews were conducted in each such randomly selected sampling point. Interviewers were given maps of the area to which they were assigned, with a starting point indicated; they were required.
    The selection of the final sample unit was selected according predetermined age and sex quotas. These quotas were established according the distribution of these variables in each locality/ city. The procedures described above, were designed to produce samples approximating the adult civilian population (18 and older) living in private household (that is, excluding those in prisons, hospitals, hotels, religious, and educational institutions and those living on reservations or military bases). Also substitution was permitted. There was a specified direction, interviewers should follow. After a successful interview, the interviewer should leave 4 households and make an interview at the 5Th household. If there was a refusal or it was out of target, they tried in the household immediately after the one selected by the probabilistic sample. Geographical stratification was used: division of the country in Regions and Population density.

    Remarks about sampling:
    -Final number of clusters or sampling points: 262. -Sample unit from office sampling: household.

    Response Rate

    Rate of non response: 25%

    Weighting

    The data were weighted by size of locality/stratum.

    Questionnaires

    The WVS questionnaire was translated from the English questionnaire by a member of the research team. The translated questionnaire was not back-translated into English; however the translated questionnaire was pre-tested. There have been some optional WVS questions and country-specific questions included since we carried out the fourth wave in early 1999 and we did not want to loose trends we included some items that were asked in the previous wave. Nevertheless, a number of questions were omitted: V145A/B/C/D/E/F and V237 Agreement/disagreement with Television is my most important form of entertainment. The reason was because we did not receive those questions at the moment we launch this wave in Argentina.
