Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
World Values Survey Wave 4 1999-2004 covers 41 countries and societies around the world and more than 60,000 respondents. The series includes the following waves:
Wave 6 (2010-2014)
Wave 5 (2005-2009)
Wave 4 (1999-2004)
Wave 3 (1995-1998)
Wave 2 (1990-1994)
Wave 1 (1981-1984)
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
Sample size: 1199
The sample was not designed to be representative of the entire adult population. We excluded the non-urban population (communities that include less than 2000 people) which constitutes 9% of the Israeli population. There were different stages in the sampling procedure:
- Division into strata (based on geographic location, community size and socio-economic characteristics).
- With strata sampling of statistical areas (the smallest ecological unit).
- Interviewing of specified number of persons within statistical units based on Kish-grid.
Stratification factors were used such as:
- Socio-economic characteristics of statistical area
- Geographical region of statistical area.
Remarks about sampling:
- Final numbers of clusters or sapling points: 47
- Sample unit from office sampling: Address point in the selection area, and the procedures for continued movement.
The following table presents completion rate results:
-Total number of starting names/addresses 3617
- Addresses established as empty, demolished or containing no private dwellings 241
- Selected Respondent had inadequate understanding of language of survey 278
-No contact at selected address 296
-No refusal at selected address 1367
-Other type of unproductive (please write in full details in the box below) 236
-Full productive interview 1199
No Weighting variable was added
Survey instrument
The WVS questionnaire was translated from the English questionnaire by a member of the research team. The questionnaire was translated to Hebrew and Arabic. The translated questionnaire was back-translated into English and the translated questionnaire was also pre-tested with 10 face to face interviews. We used the ISSP questionnaire for the demographic questions. There have been some optional questions included: V120-121, V124-125, V36, V133, V139, V217, V83-85, V97-102. There have been some country-specific questions included in the questionnaire but there have not been included before the demographic questions. The questions included were: b38-b42b45b46, b48-b61,b63-b80 were country-specific. Also, it is important to mention that not all the questions were in the prescribed order. The sample was not designed to be representative of the entire adult population. We excluded the non-urban population (communities that include less than 2000 people) which constitutes 9% of the Israeli population. The lower age cut-off for the sample was 18 and there was not any upper age cut-off for the sample.
