World Values Survey Wave 6 2010-2014 covers 60 countries and societies around the world and more than 85,000 respondents. This is the latest ressource made available for the research community.
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 size: 2500
At the first stage of selection of primary sampling units (PSU’s) urban and rural settlements will be selected. All the PSU’s are distributed among eight Federal districts (Northwestern, Central, Volga, Southern, North Caucasus, Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern), and in every Federal district, independently of each other - by strata according to the number of their population: cities with 1 million and more population; cities with from 500 thousands up to 1 million population; cities with from 100 thousands up to 500 thousands population, urban settlements with up to 100 thousands population, rural settlements.

Our program uses “compromise weighting” principle, which means that we minimize sum of square deviations shares of operated groups (specified by gender and age) in a weighted data from shares of ones in a official statistical data separately for each region/stratum of settlements; weighting values are normalized according share of region/stratum’s population in total adult population of Russia. The correction is realized separately for every population group in each region/stratum. For more on the weighting methodology refer to the Methodology Questionnaire in the related materials.
Survey instrument
For each wave, suggestions for questions are solicited by social scientists from all over the world and a final master questionnaire is developed in English. Since the start in 1981 each successive wave has covered a broader range of societies than the previous one. Analysis of the data from each wave has indicated that certain questions tapped interesting and important concepts while others were of little value. This has led to the more useful questions or themes being replicated in future waves while the less useful ones have been dropped making room for new questions.
The questionnaire is translated into the various national languages and in many cases independently translated back to English to check the accuracy of the translation. In most countries, the translated questionnaire is pre-tested to help identify questions for which the translation is problematic. In some cases certain problematic questions are omitted from the national questionnaire.
WVS requires implementation of the common questionnaire fully and faithfully, in all countries included into one wave. Any alteration to the original questionnaire has to be approved by the EC. Omission of no more than a maximum of 12 questions in any given country can be allowed.
