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 2000.
The different stages in the sampling procedure were: At first stage, districts were selected randomly from all the four provinces. At next stage enumerated blocks of households and villages were selected randomly. The households were selected at third stage and finally the individual was selected at the final stage to be interviewed. The sampled unit we got from the office sampling was the household and the selection method that was used to identify a respondent was a list of all the available members of age 21 + and one was selected randomly. There were some quota-controls permitted and substitution was permitted as already was mentioned. In general, it has been used a combination of purposive sampling, random sampling and quota sampling in four provinces in Pakistan. In addition to that, it has been used a clear rural-urban distinction. According to the latest figures, the rural population is about 50% of the total country population. So 50% of the sample has been drawn from rural areas. It is included the same number of male and female respondents in the sample.

Survey instrument
The WVS questionnaire was translated from the English questionnaire by a member of the research team. The translated questionnaire was then back-translated into English and also was pre-tested. There were no questions that caused problems when the questionnaire was translated. The questionnaire that was used to make the questionnaire was the Islamic Version of WVS questionnaire. A battery of questions regarding the September 11 events was included in the questionnaire. The question numbers are 140-155 in the questionnaire. However, no country-specific questions were included. The sample was designed to be representative of the entire adult population, i.e. 18 years and older, of your country. The lower age cut-off for the sample was 21 and there was not any upper age cut-off for the sample.

The interviewers were postgraduate students. All of them were familiar with the concepts and themes used in the WVS questionnaire and also because they were expertise in interviewing people. All the teams were given a very comprehensive training. The responsible person moved with them. In the evening they sit together and discuss any problems and also the field experience. The additional questions regarding September 11 events were particularly drawing attention of the respondents. People wanted to talk more. All the researchers have been told to quickly make notes of any thing important when people talked. They also exchanged in the evening some comments and the responsible person took notes of all this and tried to go through all questionnaires (completed) on the same day or at the most the next day to ensure that all was OK and nothing was missing. This editing was done by the responsible. It also helped and guided in giving any instructions to the researchers if needed. The team of the fieldwork missed some areas. These were the areas adjacent to Afghan border. In fact some areas are under Army control or they are prohibited due to the presence of American troops there. So the team cannot enter that area under any circumstances. Some other areas are having agitations. Some are tribal areas. The current situation was creating extra problems while moving in few parts of the country. It not only involves the extra cost but also involves some security issues as well. Interviews were done face to face. Interviewers were paid according to performance. Approximately 10% of the interviews were supervised. Approximately 5% of the interviews were back-checked.
