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 representative sample of 18 years and older population in Finland excluding Åland (Ahvenanmaa).
Multi-stage stratified sample, where primary stratification was based on municipality data and secondary stratification was based on zip code areas. The first stage stratification was based on two dimensions:
-
The North-South dimension grouped the municipalities according to NUTS 2 into three groups: South, Central Finland and Northern Finland.
-
Urban-rural dimension was used to form two groups: Urban municipalities and semi-urban and rural municipalities By linking these two dimensions six primary level strata were obtained. The Capital Region (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen) formed an individual stratum. The second stage stratification grouped zip code areas within the first stage strata in such a way, that the second stage strata was as homogeneous as possible in terms of socio-economic dimensions. In total there were 16 second stage strata. The mean income in the capital region and proportion of apartment buildings in other regions were used as the stratification variables. At each first stage stratum the number of starting points was distributed as equally as possible amongst the second stage strata. Capital region was divided into four second stage strata. Southern Finland was divided into four second stage strata. Central Finland was divided into four second stage strata. Northern Finland was divided into four second stage strata.
The sample size for Finland is N=1014.
Remarks about Sampling:
The number of sampling points inside each stratum was in a direct relation to the number of inhabitants in each stratum. Therefore proportional allocation was used. Inside each stratum, clusters (zip code areas) was picked using PPS-sampling and inside each picked cluster the same sample size (8 interviews). Inside each sampled cluster a starting point was chosen randomly. From randomly drawn address the interviewers moved towards growing address numbers. Within the target households the respondents were chosen by sex and age quotas.
Respondents were chosen by sex and age quotas.

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.
