World Values Survey Wave 3 1995-1998 covers 56 countries and societies around the world and more than 77,800 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.

This survey covers New Zealand.
The WVS for New Zealand covers national population, aged 18 years and over, for both sexes.
The sampling frame used was an electronic version of New Zealand electoral Roll. In law enrolment is compulsory, but it is rare if ever enforced. The defined age range was 18-90 years. A simple systematic sample of 1749 was drawn from the Maori electorates. A systematic sample of 225 was drawn from the Maori electorates. This represents an approximate double oversample, in an effort to increase the Maori response rate. A systematic sample of 25 was drawn from a small number of Census mesh blocks in South Auckland and Porirua (Wellington subrub) which are extremely low household income areas. Again, this was an attempt to increase the response rate from people who traditionally are low responders to surveys.
The sample size is N=1201.
The response rate for New Zealand is 65.3%
The WVS questionnaire was in English, Maori, Pacific island, Chinese and Japanese. Some special variable labels have been included, such as: V56 neighbours: There were three versions for different minorities but none was included in the original file and V149 Institutions: This variable was asked and referred to "CER with Australia" but was excluded in the original file because New Zealand assumed it should refer to the European Union. Special categories labels are: V167 Least liked Groups and 203/ V204: Geographical affinity. The variable V217 Education is not compatible with codebook. Country Specific variables included are: V208: Ethnic identification, 1. Maori, 2. Pakeha 3. European, 4. Pac Si 5. Asian, 6. Nzer; V209: Language at home: 1. English, 2. Maori, 3. Pac si, 4 Chinese, 5. Japanese and 6. The variables political parties V210 a V212; V232 Size of Town; V 233 Ethnic Group and Region: V 234 are also included as country specific variables. The V 206 Born in this country is also different in New Zeland.

The main method of data collection in the WVS survey is face-to-face interview at respondent’s home / place of residence. Respondent’s answers could be recorded in a paper questionnaire (traditional way) or by CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview). The approval of the Scientific Advisory Committee in writing is necessary for application of any methods of data collection other than face-to-face interview. Following the sampling, each country is left with a representative national sample of its public. These persons are then interviewed during a limited time frame decided by the Executive Committee of the World Values Survey using the uniformly structured questionnaires. The survey is carried out by professional organizations using face-to-face interviews or phone interviews for remote areas. Each country has a Principal Investigator (social scientists working in academic institutions) who is responsible for conducting the survey in accordance with the fixed rules and procedures. During the field work, the agency has to report in writing according to a specific check-list. Internal consistency checks are made between the sampling design and the outcome and rigorous data cleaning procedures are followed at the WVS data archive. No country is included in a wave before full documentation has been delivered. This means a data set with the completed methodological questionnaire and a report of country-specific information (for example important political events during the fieldwork, problems particular to the country). Once all the surveys are completed, the Principal Investigator has access to all surveys and data. Non-response is an issue of increasing concern in sample surveys. Investigators are expected to make every reasonable effort to minimize non-response. In countries using a full probability design, no replacements are allowed. PIs should plan on as many call-backs as the funding will allow. In countries using some form of quota sampling, every effort should be made to interview the first contact.
