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: 1251
In the sample, urban population was over-represented. The sampling stages were: regions-cities/villages-neighborhoods. The final selection was made using random routes. Selection of individual in households was made using sex and age quota. Substitution was made when there was nobody in household after four trials, or when there was a refusal, or there wasn't anybody eligible.Stratification factors were used by region and size of place. The only significant limitation was urbanrural distribution, and that has been corrected through weighting.
Remarks about sampling:
-Final numbers of clusters or sampling points: 30
-Sample unit from office sampling: Random routes-households quota by sex and age in household.
Yes, weighting was used to equilibrate sex-age and urban-rural distribution. Urban-rural distribution was more important with an under-representation of rural population. The weight is a matrix that combines the variables: sex, age and urban-rural distinction, and it is included in the data file
Survey instrument
The survey used the standard WVS questionnaire instead of the more limited Islamic questionnaire. It was used the French questionnaire to make the WVS questionnaire. The WVS questionnaire was translated from the English questionnaire by a member of the research team.The translated questionnaire was also pre-tested. It was pretested in Casablanca with 10-15 persons of different age and status to test comprehension by respondents. Some of the questions on religion had to be eliminated because they caused some surprise, due to general agreement with one answer. A few other questions had to be eliminated because of lack of comprehension. The self anchoring scale of ideology was not well understood, but nevertheless was kept in. The following questions were eliminated from the questionnaire: 11-13-14-15-59-61-63-66-73-D15-D16-D17. Also some substitutions were made during the translation: In Q.15 Muslims was replaced by Trafiquants. In Q.47 the Church was replaced by Religion. In Q. 47 the Arab League was added as an item. Besides, Church was always replaced by Mosque, and God was replaced by Allah. 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.
