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: 1015.
Two-stage sample: 1. Municipalities/regions, 2. Respondents.
Remarks about sampling:
The final number of clusters or sampling points is 51. The sampled unit from office sampling is the named individual. A known limitation of the realized sample is the slight geographical bias in the sample.
41%Concerning non-response. The following reasons were given: the total number of starting names/addresses was 2500; there were 625 cases in which addresses couldn't be traced at all or where addresses were established as empty, demolished or containing no private dwellings; for 585 times it was the case that the selected respondent was too sick/incapacitated to participate, the selected respondent was away during the survey period, the selected respondent had an inadequate understanding of the language of survey, there was no contact at the selected address, there was no contact with the selected person, there was a refusal at the selected address, there was a proxy refusal (on behalf of the respondent), there was a personal refusal by the selected respondent, or there was another reason (which are not specified here); for 1015 cases there was a full productive interview.
Because of a geographical bias, a weight variable is included.
Survey instrument
The questionnaire was translated and/or adapted from the English Master Questionnaire (the Danish questionnaire was used to construct the Swedish version). This translation was carried out by a member of the research team. The questionnaire was then back-translated into English and pretested (pre-testing was done by the interview organiser (mainly to check time and discover 'bad' questions)). There have been a number of optional EVS questions and items included in the Swedish questionnaire. These are: q20a, q57a, q58_k and q58aq110a. Beside these, there were also country specific questions and items included that were neither compulsory nor optional EVS questions. These country-specifics included several items from the WVS-questionnaire. There were located in the combined EVS-WVS questionnaire. Concerning the order of questions, they were all ordered in the prescribed order. Not all core EVS (demographic) questions were included in the Swedish questionnaire. Items that were not included are: q26, q36, q45_a, q69, q82, q83, q97, q98, q99, q100, q101, q104, q107, q111: economic reasons.

The interviewers were paid by hours worked. 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 and on different times of the week. There was a minimum number of 6 recalls before interviewers were allowed to stop trying to contact respondents. 20% of all interviews eventually was back-checked.
