World Values Survey Wave 5 2009-2005 covers 58 countries and societies around the world and more than 83,000 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
The sample is designed to be representative of adults aged 18 and older, from all socioeconomic status, living permanently in the selected accommodations for the sample. The sample method involved a multi-stage clustered design: stratification by region, by urban and rural areas, and residence zones in Metropolitan Lima.
First stage: Selection of sample Spots Selection of urban blocks (manzanas) by a computer program. A cluster is defined as a block (manzana). Selection of 8 interviews per cluster/block In Lima and Callao, and 5 interview in the remaining urban areas.
Second stage: Selection of Sample Households Within each selected sample block, households were selected through systematic sampling. Replacement of households and blocks was allowed in order to complete the interviews according to the cuota previously fixed. In rural areas, settlements with less than 200 dwellings were randomly selected. To select rural settlements for the sample, the field coordinator used a map and a list of selttlements in order to exclude those towns or villages with access difficulty (more than 5 hour trip to access). Then the coordinator grouped the rural settlements in big axes around the large cities selected for the urban sample. Within each selected group, rural settlements were selected to apply from 5 to 10 interviews. The number of selected settlements depends on the number of interviews expected for rural areas, taking into account that the number of interviews for each settlement is from 5 to 10. Subsequently, households were chosen in each selected rural settlement by a random route method. In urban, as in rural areas, respondents were selected by age and sex quotas, which were fixed by the demographic distribution of the population.
Remarks about sampling:
With respect to the original sample design, the only variation was the application of an additional rural survey in Huancayo and one less in Huánuco. Due to the fieldwork schedule, it was decided to replace the survey in Huánuco by a survey in Junín, where the fieldwork was extended for a few days more.
The sample size for Peru is N=1500 and includes national population aged 18 years and over, for both sexes.
Weighted by region, urban and rural areas. This weighting variable was included in the data-set as the variable Peso, in order to correct for distortions in the representativeness of the sample according to the information of the 2005 Census.
Survey instrument
For each wave, suggestions for questions are solicited by social scientists from all over the world and a final master questionnaire is developed in English. Since the start in 1981 each successive wave has covered a broader range of societies than the previous one. Analysis of the data from each wave has indicated that certain questions tapped interesting and important concepts while others were of little value. This has led to the more useful questions or themes being replicated in future waves while the less useful ones have been dropped making room for new questions. The questionnaire is translated into the various national languages and in many cases independently translated back to English to check the accuracy of the translation. In most countries, the translated questionnaire is pre-tested to help identify questions for which the translation is problematic. In some cases certain problematic questions are omitted from the national questionnaire. WVS requires implementation of the common questionnaire fully and faithfully, in all countries included into one wave. Any alteration to the original questionnaire has to be approved by the EC. Omission of no more than a maximum of 12 questions in any given country can be allowed.

The main method of data collection in the WVS survey is face-to-face interview at respondent’s home / place of residence. Respondent’s answers could be recorded in a paper questionnaire (traditional way) or by CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview). The approval of the Scientific Advisory Committee in writing is necessary for application of any methods of data collection other than face-to-face interview. Following the sampling, each country is left with a representative national sample of its public. These persons are then interviewed during a limited time frame decided by the Executive Committee of the World Values Survey using the uniformly structured questionnaires. The survey is carried out by professional organizations using face-to-face interviews or phone interviews for remote areas. Each country has a Principal Investigator (social scientists working in academic institutions) who is responsible for conducting the survey in accordance with the fixed rules and procedures. During the field work, the agency has to report in writing according to a specific check-list. Internal consistency checks are made between the sampling design and the outcome and rigorous data cleaning procedures are followed at the WVS data archive. No country is included in a wave before full documentation has been delivered. This means a data set with the completed methodological questionnaire and a report of country-specific information (for example important political events during the fieldwork, problems particular to the country). Once all the surveys are completed, the Principal Investigator has access to all surveys and data. Non-response is an issue of increasing concern in sample surveys. Investigators are expected to make every reasonable effort to minimize non-response. In countries using a full probability design, no replacements are allowed. PIs should plan on as many call-backs as the funding will allow. In countries using some form of quota sampling, every effort should be made to interview the first contact.
