Wave 6 (2010-2014)
Wave 5 (2005-2009)
Wave 4 (1999-2004)

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
Population: Total resident non-institutionalized population of the Federation 18 years and older. Respondents were selected by a stratified random sample. Stratification criteria were region and type of residence (urban vs. rural). 80 sampling points were randomly selected proportional to the distribution of population across 10 regions. Within each sampling point 1 settlement was selected at random. Within settlements households were selected by method of random route. Within each household the respondent is randomly selected using the "next-birthday" method. Selection is done: 58% Male and 42% Female. 41% Urban and 59 Rural %. Nationality: Bosniak 49%, Serb 31%, Croat 18% and Other 3%.
Remarks about sampling:
- Final numbers of clusters or sampling points: 80
- Sample unit from office sampling: Household
The sample size for Bosnia and Herzegovina is N=800.
The response rate for Bosnia and Herzegovina is 77.1% and is calculated as follows: (800/1038) x 100= 77.1%
Survey instrument
The WVS questionnaire was in Bosnian and Croatian. Some special variable labels have been included, such as: V56 Neighbours: Muslims and V149 Institution: The European Union. Special categories labels are: V167 Least liked groups: 1. Serbs; V203/ V204: Geographical affinity, 1. Locality or town where you live, 2. Region of country where you live, 3. Own country as a whole, 4. Europe, 5. The world as whole. Country Specific variables included are: V208: Ethnic identification, 1. Citizen of Bosnia-Herzegovina first and a member of some etchnic group second, 2. Bosnian, 3. Croatian, 4. Serbian, 5. Monteegrin, 6. Macedonian, 7. Slovenian; V209: Language at home: 1. Bosnian, 2. Croatian, 3. Serbian, 4. Macedonian, 5. Slovenian. The variables political parties V210 a V212; Ethic group: V 233 and Region: V 234 are also included as country specific variables. The V 206 Born in this country is also different in Bosnia-Herzegovina. 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 18 and there was not any upper age cut-off for the sample.

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.
