Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
World Values Survey Wave 4 1999-2004 covers 41 countries and societies around the world and more than 60,000 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
There were different stages in the sampling procedure:
- First Stage: Stratification of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) identification of 26 Governorates
- Second Stage: sample of Census Blocks in each governorate to be included
- Third Stage: Dividing Sample According to Educational Levels
- Fourth Stage: Choosing Persons to be interviewed in each household. A random sample of households in each PSUs was first selected.
Eligible individuals who were 16 years of age and over with certain educational level were then selected for interviews. Substitution was permitted in case the selected household did not exist for any reason at the specified address, a different household from the same census block was selected. The design provides for at least 4 calls, however. The primary stage of sampling Egyptian households was divided into 26 governorates based on boundaries in the Egyptian local governance system. Because these governorates are not homogeneous, the 1996 Census divided these governorates into four different areas:
- Urban areas include governorates, which are urban as a whole, dominated by trade, industry, and business. This category includes Governorates of Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said, and Suez. In Urban-Rural areas, each governorate has some small towns but most inhabitants live in villages and works in agricultural activities.
- Northern urban-rural areas include the northern part of the Nile valley: Domiat, Ismailia, Dakahlia, Sharkia, Kaluobia, Gharbia, Menoufia, Kafr Elll Shheikh, and Behera.
- Southern urban areas include the southern part of the Nile valley governorates: Giza, Bani Sowief, Fayom, Assiout,m Kena, and Aswan.
- Border Areas include desert outside the Nile Valley, including North and South Sinai, New Valley, and Matrouh. There were some limitations when the survey was realized. It was the high proportion of housewives who were present at the time of the interview.
Remarks about sampling:
- Final numbers of clusters or sampling points: 9
- Sample unit from office sampling: Household
Two hundred fifty questionnaires were rejected after the check-up due to errors as well as illogical answers All these questionnaires were replaced by different households in the same census blocks.
Survey instrument
The WVS questionnaire was translated from the English questionnaire by a member of the research team. The translated questionnaire was also pre-tested. The questionnaire was administered to 300 individuals. Some questions included caused particular problems: Variable 133-136, Variable 182, Variable 196, and Variable 199. We had to re-phrase some questions to fit the Egyptian situation. All problems were solved consequently. The sample was designed to be representative of the entire adult population, i.e. 18 years and older, of your country. The lower age cut-off for the sample was 16 and there was not any upper age cut-off for the sample.
