Values in Crisis Survey (first wave)

The COVID-19 crisis is manifold and poses major health, economic and social challenges for current societies. Long-term monitoring of central values and attitudes of citizens in times of crises help to grasp current social and political tensions. Taking this ambition to the global scale and providing comparable data across nations is the main aim of the Values in Crisis Study (VIC). Christian Welzel, together with well-known researchers in Germany, UK and Sweden initiated the study and finally 18 countries collaborated in this project. Currently, the Values in Crisis (VIC) Survey is by our knowledge the only international longitudinal survey project on attitudes and values providing data on a global scale. Τhe first wave of Greece is available, through the EKKE repository on SoDaNet Data Catalogue where the data and questionnaires are available in Greek and English. A second and a third wave will take place in 2021 and 2022. In 2022 it is assumed that we will be at the end of the pandemic, when a fully comparative picture of the values of Greeks at the beginning, middle and end of the pandemic will exist.
