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.

Stratified, multistage sample, with random selection on each stage, according to the standard sampling procedure (elaborated by Dumitru Sandu) usually employed by the Romanian social researchers. (The same sampling procedure as in the case of the 1999 wave). The stratification criteria are:
a.the socio-cultural area (18 areas identified starting from their level of economic and human development and their administrative organization), and the size of the locality for towns (under 10000, 10-50000, 50-200000, and 200000+ inhabitants) [the respective 18 areas are geographically compact (each county within a certain area is contiguous with at least another one from the same area)] b.the level of socio-economic development, according to the aggregate index computed by D.Sandu (2004) for rural areas (the level of development is recoded in three categories: lower, average, higher).
Remarks about sampling:
the selection of the localities. Randomly selected from the 18*7 resulting strata after crossing the two above criteria. The strata containing less than 7 cases are combined with the closer ones that come from the same socio-cultural area.
Determining the number of interviews for each locality: proportional with the distribution of the population in the 18*7 strata obtained by combining the two criteria mentioned above). The selection of the election sections (in each locality were interviewed people from 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 election sections, randomly selected on the voting lists - the lists with the people of voting age from each locality are organized by sections. The selection of these sections is random)
determining the number of subjects to be interviewed from each voting section: proportionally with the size of the respective section as reported to the total size of the selected voting sections from the respective locality. 4. the selection of the subjects for each voting section, randomly from the voting lists for the respective section. The selected number of potential subjects is 50% higher than the targeted number of interviews to be carried out. The minimum number of callbacks is 3 (in at least 2 different days, at different hours). Non-citizens have a lower probability to be selected than their share in the Romanian population. However, the respective proportion is so low, that, considering the volume of the sample (2000), maximum one interview would be carried out with non-citizens.
The sample size for Romania is N=1776 and includes national population aged 18 years and over,
Total number of starting names/addresses 3729
Addresses which could not be traced at all 182
Addresses established as empty, demolished or containing no private dwellings 34
Selected respondent too sick/incapacitated to participate 408
Other type of unproductive (please write in full details in the box below) 1170
Full productive interview 1776
Selected respondent away during survey period 658*
No contact at selected address no contact with selected person refusal at selected address 445 Proxy refusal (on behalf of selected respondent) personal refusal by selected respondent other type of unproductive (please write in full details in the box below) 67
Remarks about non-response:
Non-Romanian citizens. (there are very few, and the sampling procedure is not allowing their selection). * the data collecting agency did not differentiate among those missing from home, which may be hospitalized, (international) circulatory migrant, left for studies - in another locality, in the army, etc. or simply not being at home in three different days at three different hours, when the interview operator tried to contact them ** disabled people or too drunk to be able to answer in three different days at three different hours.

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.
