World Values Survey Time-Series (1981-2022) Cross-National Data-Set

The World Values Survey (WVS) is an international research program devoted to the scientific and academic study of social, political, economic, religious and cultural values of people in the world. The project’s goal is to assess which impact values stability or change over time has on the social, political and economic development of countries and societies. The project grew out of the European Values Study and was started in 1981 by its Founder and first President (1981-2013) Professor Ronald Inglehart from the University of Michigan (USA) and his team, and since then has been operating in more than 120 world societies. The main research instrument of the project is a representative comparative social survey which is conducted globally every 5 years. Extensive geographical and thematic scope, free availability of survey data and project findings for broad public turned the WVS into one of the most authoritative and widely-used cross-national surveys in the social sciences. At the moment, WVS is the largest non-commercial cross-national empirical time-series investigation of human beliefs and values ever executed.世界价值观调查（World Values Survey，WVS）是一项国际性研究计划，致力于以科学、学术的方式开展全球民众社会、政治、经济、宗教与文化价值观的研究。该项目的目标是评估各类价值观随时间的稳定性或变化，对国家与社会的社会、政治及经济发展所产生的影响。本项目脱胎于欧洲价值观研究，由美国密歇根大学的罗纳德·英格尔哈特教授（其为项目创始人和首任主席，任期1981-2013年）及其团队于1981年启动，迄今已在全球120余个社会中开展研究工作。项目的核心研究工具为代表性比较社会调查，该调查每五年在全球范围内开展一次。凭借广泛的地理覆盖范围与主题范畴、调查数据及项目研究成果对公众免费开放的特性，世界价值观调查已成为社会科学领域最具权威性、应用最为广泛的跨国调查之一。目前，世界价值观调查是有史以来规模最大的非商业性跨国人类信仰与价值观实证时间序列研究项目。
