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
Sample stratification: The selection criteria was that of proportional distribution of interviews among the 17 Autonomous Regions according to their population and to community size within each region. Those municipalities with more than 500,000 inhabitants are of compulsory selection; the rest come out from a random draw. The same number of interviews per Autonomous Region is kept in each study. The only Autonomous Regions that always have interviews at all levels of community size are: Andalucía, Cataluña and País Valenciano. The strata of the other regions are drawn each month. The number of interviews that proportionally corresponds to each province and type of community is also taken into consideration within each Autonomous Region. Moreover, we keep track of the population settlements that are selected so that they are not repeated, and in large cities we distribute the interviews among the districts. Household selection: once the number of interviews to be done has been established (by size of community and Autonomous Region), we use a computerised system to randomly extract municipalities and electoral sections within them. The number of electoral sections randomly selected is related to the total number of interviews to carry out in the municipality. A random route system is applied for household selection; in all the buildings that the interviewer passes by (on either side of the street, depending on the side where the starting point is), one every three housings is selected; in case of refusal or non-contact, the interviewer goes to the next household. Respondents selection: age and sex quotas are used for the respondents selection. These quotas are established in each sampling point according to the cross between size of community and age and sex at national level and also at regional level in the three regions above mentioned (Cataluña, Andalucía, País Valenciano). In the other regions the distribution is proportional.
Remarks about sampling:
At the very end of the selection process, when interviewer is accepted into a household. Some sampling experts would not considered this as quota, but as another process of stratification of the sample. Please write in: Distribution according to population in each region, and within the region, according to size of place, and at the household level, according to sex/age distribution of population in each region. After three attemps to get the interview in a household, and substitution is always made within the same building. (Most housing is in apartments buildings). Given the the sampling design that was used, multiple-stage stratified sampling, with random routes, the aim was to obtain 1,200 interviews, but interviewers were given a number of interviews higher, 1,300, counting on refusals and non productive contacts and counting also on substitution after three attempts. That is why the sum of non-completed interviews and completed interviews do no add up to the starting size of 1,300.
The sample size for Spain is N=1200 and includes national population, aged 18 years and over, for both sexes.
1300 Total number of starting names/addresses
27 - selected respondent too sick/incapacitated to participate
11 - selected respondent away during survey period
13 - selected respondent had inadequate understanding of language of survey
139 - no contact at selected address
24 - refusal at selected address
57 - personal refusal by selected respondent
1213 - full productive interview
By sex and age (4 categories), Weight includes as variable in data file

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.
