Notes
In 1990, the English language version of this battery used the following response alternatives: (1) Very important, (2) Quite important, (3) Not very important, (4) Not at all important. Other countries made similar adjustments in the wording of the second option. The substitution of "rather important" for "quite important" in 1995 tends to inflate the percentage of positive responses; it does not seem to have any effect on the relative ranking of these items in given countries, so these rankings should be comparable over time.
