World Values Survey (1981-2022). Trend File

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范式研究全球民众的社会、政治、经济、宗教与文化价值观。该项目的核心目标是评估价值观的稳定性或随时间发生的变迁，对各国及各社会的社会、政治与经济发展所产生的影响。该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（Ronald Inglehart）教授及其团队于1981年创立，英格尔哈特同时担任该项目首任主席（1981-2013年）。此后，该项目已在全球120余个社会中开展实施。该项目的主要研究工具为具有代表性的比较社会调查，每五年在全球范围内开展一轮。凭借广泛的地理覆盖范围与主题范畴、面向公众免费开放的调查数据及项目研究成果，世界价值观调查已成为社会科学领域最具权威性且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。
