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: 1223
There were different stages in the sampling procedure: 1- First stage is to draw primary sampling units (clusters) by pps method. 2- Second stage to draw households from each psu by systematic method. 3- Third stage to draw the eligible person from each household by simple random sample. The quota sample is biased sample we dont use this type of samples in general. But we use stratified sample instead with implicit stratification if it is required, so for male and female from each cluster by drew 50% hh from each ssu for male and 50% for female. Substitution was permitted if the house become unoccupied or the nationalty of the household is non-Jordanian. In the first stage stratification were applied for urban rural socio economic characters and administrative distribution.
Remarks about sampling:
-Final numbers of clusters or sampling points: 130 -Sample unit from office sampling: Household in each selected household the interviewers lists all male or female individuals above 18 and randomly according to a given table I which there is a family serial number one person is identified as a respondent. The extra samples of households were selected in advance before the field work start 3 independent households were selected from each cluster to subsidize non response.
The non response should be less than 5%.
Yes, the weighting is very important because the sample is not self-weighting design the weight equal the reverse of probability of drawing the sampling unit.
Survey instrument
We used the questionnaire that was designed for the Islamic countries. The questionnaire was translated by a specialist translator. The translated questionnaire was back-translated into English and the translated questionnaire was also pre-tested: 133 questionnaires. There were some questions or concepts that caused particular problems when the questionnaire was translated in English. Especially the difficulties were in political matters. The question left-right scale was difficult for the respondent to understand. In fact the team decided to omit 26 questions from the original questionnaire, which were 237 questions. Thus we ended up using 211 questions. There were not included: Q73, Q83, Q90, Q94, Q168-174, Q183-186, Q187-190, Q202-203, Q206-209. 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 18 and there was not any upper age cut-off for the sample.
