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: 1200.
The different stages in the sampling procedure were: Our survey design called for interviews with a sample of n= 1,200 adults who were 20 years and older, living in private dwelling units. The sample was to be taken as selection of 120 clusters with a sample of 10 chosen from the household of each of the selected clusters. The final numbers of clusters or sampling points were 120. The sample unit got from the office sampling was the household. The selection method used was:
- First, it was obtained 120 clusters (town or villages) though probabilities Proportional to Size Measure (PPS).
- Second, two smaller blocks were selected from each cluster.
- Third, 5 households were selected within one smaller block by an appointed procedure.
- Fourth, the interviewers called at selected households and interviewed with the person whose birthday was earliest among the family members were 20 years and older. Substitution was permitted if selected sample areas were non-residential or commercial quarters it was allowed to select contiguous residential quarter.
Remarks about sampling:
- Final numbers of clusters or sampling points: 120
- Sample unit from office sampling: Household
There were some limitations of the realised sample. It was not measure non-response rates. In sample design, we did not include islands into primary sampling area, because of survey costs.
Yes. On the basis of age and schooling distributions of target population (2000 Korean Census data), the observations were weighted. Age and schooling distribution were divided into five groups: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60 years and older. Schooling group: primary school, middle school, high school, university-level education without degree, university level education with degree and over.
Survey instrument
The WVS questionnaire was translated from the English questionnaire by a member of the research team. The translated questionnaire was not back-translated into English; and was not pre-tested. There have not been any optional WVS questions and/or items been included, however country-specific questions were included at the end of the questionnaire, just before the demographics. All questions asked were in the prescribed order. Nevertheless, a number of questions were omitted because they were not relevant to Korean situations: V53, V67, V160-161, V176, V191-195, V204, V218-222, V227-228, V235, V237-244.
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 20 and there was not any upper age cut-off for the sample.
