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: 1209.
- Interviewees were distributed proportionally to population in each of the 17 Autonomous Communities (Regions).
- Interviews were then distributed, within each region, by size-categories of municipalities population.
- Municipalities are randomly selected within each region and size category.
- Census regions are randomly selected within each municipality.
- Random routes are used within each census section to select building.
- Stages and/or households are randomly selected within each building.
- Kish tables are used to select individual within each household. The final number of clusters was 131. Lower age cut-off was set at 18 years.
Remarks about sampling:
Substitution was permitted after 3-4 attempts to find at home the selected individual or after a definite refusal. All substitutions are selected within the same census section (which is the smallest census unit). The substitution rate is high, a growing problem for every institute doing face-to-face interviewing at Rs home. However, the demographic profile (even cross-tabs) of each sample is similar in all of our studies and similar to census data. Stratification factors used were: Region (17) and Size of Municipality (7 categories). Proportional distribution of interviews to population 18 years and over in both cases was then used.
There were some limitations in the sample. The substitution rate is high, a growing problem for every institute doing face-to-face interviewing at R´s home. However, the demographic profile (even crosstabs) of each sample is similar in all of our studies and similar to census data.
- There were selected respondent too sick/incapacitated to participate: 3
- There were selected respondent away during the survey period: 10
- No contact at selected address: 25
- No contact with selected person: 15
- Proxy refusal (on behalf of selected respondent): 10
- Personal refusal by selected respondent: 15
- Full productivity interview: 1209
The data file is provided unweighted, but a weight variable is included in case someone needs it. The weight variable is a 2 x 4 matrix (age and sex) and it may be used to make sure the sex-age distribution of the sample is exactly the same as that of the Spanish population 18 years and over. However, the differences between the weighted and the unweighted samples are very small, due to our sampling process.
Survey instrument
The English official version WVS questionnaire was used.

The interviewers were paid according to their performance and 33% of them was supervised. Concerning the rules that were governed how an interviewer approached an individual, address or household, calls had to be made at different times of the day. There was a minimum number of 4 recalls before interviewers were allowed to stop trying to contact respondents. El 30% of all interviews eventually was back-checked.
