World Values Survey Wave 6 2010-2014 covers 60 countries and societies around the world and more than 85,000 respondents. This is the latest ressource made available for the research community.
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: 1500.
Step one: Selecting the regions, rural and urban areas covered by the survey
The country has been divided into 6 regions, differing in geography and basic economic, social and demographic attributes. Two or three oblasts were selected per region. These were to represent the areas within the regions, differing by key economic, ethnic and demographic characteristics.
Step two: Selection of regional sample points (urban and rural areas) in accordance with the region’s population size.
Sample size for each region was set proportionally to population size in this region The procedure for settlements selection in every region was the following: - Cities: The regional oblast centers have been included in the sample. The rest cities in the region were selected by means of random numbers generator. - Villages: Rural settlements were randomly selected from the common list of villages in each region and oblast by means of random numbers generator.
Step Three: Selection of starting points within each sampling point.
Cities: each city was split into three districts – the central, residential district and industrial district. Sampling points with maximum 10-15 interviews to conduct, were selected in every region. The number of interviews within the regions was defined proportional to number of residents. Villages: each rural settlement was divided into two areas – the central area and the outskirts, which were the sampling points, the number of interviews was equally divided between them. Altogether 152 rural sampling points have been reached in the study.
Step Four: Household Selection
Household selection: a random route sample has been used for household selection. The route start at each sampling point was determined by a regional supervisor. In cities – a multistoried sector – each second house. Polling begins with the last entrance, upper store, an apartment with the greatest number. The next flat selected was the one with the greatest number skipping one store down. In one or two storey buildings each fifth household was selected. In rural – each third household was selected. If no one at home in the household selected at the moment of the visit, interviewers revisited the household at least thrice.
Step Five: Respondent Selection
Respondent selection in a household was carried out according to the next birthday rule. For this a list of all the household members aged 18 and older was made up. If a duly selected respondent was away at the moment of the visit, the interviewer revisited twice this household (total three visits). All the outcomes of household and respondent selection, reasons for interviewer’s deviation off the route and also interview results were fixed in route sheets.

Survey instrument
For each wave, suggestions for questions are solicited by social scientists from all over the world and a final master questionnaire is developed in English. Since the start in 1981 each successive wave has covered a broader range of societies than the previous one. Analysis of the data from each wave has indicated that certain questions tapped interesting and important concepts while others were of little value. This has led to the more useful questions or themes being replicated in future waves while the less useful ones have been dropped making room for new questions.
The questionnaire is translated into the various national languages and in many cases independently translated back to English to check the accuracy of the translation. In most countries, the translated questionnaire is pre-tested to help identify questions for which the translation is problematic. In some cases certain problematic questions are omitted from the national questionnaire.
WVS requires implementation of the common questionnaire fully and faithfully, in all countries included into one wave. Any alteration to the original questionnaire has to be approved by the EC. Omission of no more than a maximum of 12 questions in any given country can be allowed.
