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: 1501
We used a combination of random and probability sampling method. The sampling was distributed according to 5 regions: Gran Lima, North Centre, South and Orient. The interviews were distributed proportionately by province, districts, urban, semi urban and rural areas. Also the interviews were distributed by sex, age and socio-economic level. The sample unit we got from the office sampling was the household and the selection method that we used to identify a respondent was Kish.
Remarks about sampling:
- Final numbers of clusters or sampling points: 193
- Sample unit from office sampling: Household
The following table presents completion rate results:
- Total number of starting names/addresses: 8155
- Selected respondent too sick/incapacitated to participate: 1564
- Selected respondent away during survey period: 1184
- No contact with selected person: 1732
- Personal refusal by selected respondent: 2070
- Full Productive Interview: 1501
- Partial Productive Interview: 1515
Remarks about non-response:
There were some limitations in the sample. It was difficult to arrive at some rural areas. It was difficult to understand the questionnaire when the education level was low. It was a very long questionnaire especially for elderly people. Some people were not happy with religious items.
No weighting variable was added.
Survey instrument
The WVS questionnaire was not translated or adapted from the English questionnaire. There have not been any country-specific questions included. Some core questions from the WVS were not included: Religious items especially the question related with the possibility of having a religious president. It was considered not relevant for Peru. 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.
