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
Independent Sociological and Information Service OPINIA designed to carry out World Value Survey in Moldova using the multi-staged, stratified and probabilistic sample representative by the adult population of the republic. For developing of survey sample was used the last census data carried out in 2004 by National Bureau of Statistics. Sample was distributed for the stratum proportionally with the population volume, so was used approximately the same survey fraction in every stratum. For municipality Chisinau was designed a separate sample.
At the first stage of sampling design was calculated the proportion of population living in each region(inclusively urban and rural) in the total of population of the republic. Each region was divided in administrative-territorial units / counties and was calculated the proportion of population living in these units. Starting with this data general amount of sampling was distributed among the singled out stratum in proportion with the share of the adult population in every strata, inclusively in urban and rural area.
At the second stage of the sampling design were selected concrete urban and rural settlements (cities and villages) for the survey. The cities and villages were selected by random choice in every stratum from the number of all the inhabited locations included in this strata, the probability was proportional to the adult population, inhabiting these locations. Selected settlements represented on the one hand the structure (typology) of the urban and rural settlements of Moldova and, on the other hand, represented each of the counties singled out at the first stage of sampling design.
At the third stage in each settlement was selected the necessary number of sampling points (routs). Sampling population was divided in accordance with administrative sectors of the city / village. In each district (sector) randomly was selected the necessary number of sampling points proportionally with population living in these sectors. At the third stage were selected concrete households by using random route method with a statistical step.
At the fourth stage were selected respondents for conducting interviews. For the selection of concrete questioned subjects, within the selected households, was used the method of the nearest anniversary. If the respondent was not available at the first visit, interviewers had made three visits in different days and at different times to interview this person. If after three visits, respondent could not be found, interviewer passed to the next household, but is not allowed to interview another person from the same family.
Remarks about sampling:
For the selection of concrete questioned subjects, within the selected households, was used the method of the nearest anniversary.
Regional representation of the Republic of Moldova (North, Center and South);
Administrative-territorial division of the republic;
Residential area: urban / rural;
Size of urban localities (3 types);
Size of rural localities (3 types)
The sample size for Moldova is N=1046 and includes the national population aged 18 years and over for both sexes.
Response rate - 71.2% Total number of starting names/addresses 1470 addresses established as
empty, demolished or containing no private dwellings 15 selected respondent too sick/incapacitated
to participate 13 no contact at selected address 96 no contact with selected person 39 refusal at
selected address 216 personal refusal by selected respondent 41 full productive interview 1046
partial productive interview 4
Remarks about non-response:
Response rate - 71.2%

Survey instrument
Questionnaire in English, Romanian and Russian The Romanian and Russian version was pre-tested on a sample of 50 respondents in 2 urban and 4 rural localities. For the pre-testing were selected persons of different gender, age and level of education. There were some problems with the concept: Civil Service (V141), and the items from the questions V210-V214. Civil Service: the notion is not very clear for the people and was translated in Romanian and Russian as Public Clerk. At the question about the views on themselves (V210-V214) we translated the items in such a way so that the meaning remain the same and the subjects understand them. We modified V213 I see myself as a part of the European Union into the item European. At the question referring to trust in institutions were included the items A1 after V146, A2 and A3 after V147. A4 about the view on themselves and how they relate to the world was placed after V213. And the questions from A5 to A27 were placed before the demographics.

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.
