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
A. METHOD OF SAMPLING Full probability sample was used in a survey. The WVS was conducted in December 2005 as a part of national Omnibus survey conducted by CBOS Public Opinion Research Centre every month on representative sample of adult Poles. The sample size was 1000, and 18+. No quota sampling was used.
B. SAMPLE SIZE The sample size (i.e. the number of completed interviews) was 1,000.
C. NON-RESPONSE During the fieldwork no replacements were allowed. Call-backs were performed to the possible extent. Full report on non-responses is attached.
D. COVERAGE WVS covered all Polish residents 18+. Required sample size for the 18+ population was achieved.
III. INTERVIEWING The mode of data collection was face-to-face interviewing. All the interviews were conducted by trained interviewers from CBOS Public Opinion Research Centre.
IV. PERIOD OF DATA COLLECTION
Data was collected December 1, 2005 through December 20, 2005. Fieldwork started accordingly to Omnibus survey regular data collection period.
V. SUBMISSION OF DATA AND THE FINAL REPORT
A. Cleaned and complete data set is attached. Data set was prepared on the basis of common mask. B. Data set is accompanied by the completed methodological questionnaire (attached) and a list of country-specific codings.
Remarks about sampling:
All groups were equally covered. The whole area of Poland was divided into 16 macroregions (voivodships). Each macroregion was divided into three classes according to the size of locality: voivodship capital (16 urban centers), other cities/towns, rural areas. Each class was further divided depending on the number of inhabitants. In this way the country was divided into 65 strata that cover the whole Polish territory and population.
The sample size for Poland is N=1000 and includes national population aged 18 years and over for both sexes.
Total number of starting names/addresses 1788
Addresses which could not be traced at all 1.3 %
Selected respondent too sick/incapacitated to 3.6%
Participate selected respondent away during survey period 30.2%
No contact at selected address 12.9%
No contact with selected person 18.6%
Selected respondent dead 2.8 %
Personal refusal by selected respondent 24.5%
Other type of unproductive (please write in full details in the box below) 6.2%
Full productive interview 1000
Yes Weighting process took into account:
- different degrees of realization in different place categories
- different degrees of realization in different socio-demographical groups (by gender, age, education)
Survey instrument
- The WVS common questionnaire was implemented fully and faithfully.
- Previously asked questions were kept to the possible extent so as to make longitudinal analysis possible.
- The master questionnaire was translated into Polish by research team members using previous
questionnaires translations. - Whenever a question has been used in previous surveys, the same translation was preserved to the extent possible. Obvious and serious errors in translation were nevertheless corrected.
- Every question in the original English questionnaire was asked in the survey.
- Country specific questions were added to the questionnaire, some of them from previous WVS, some designed specifically for this survey. Country-specific questions were placed at the end of the questionnaire, before the demographics. There was one exceptions concerning computer literacy questions (question concerning PC, mail and internet use was broaden). Those additional questions were directly related to a set of questions in the master questionnaire.
Data collection

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.
