The World Values Survey (WVS) is a global research project that aims to understand how people's values, attitudes, and beliefs change over time. Through multiple rounds of surveys, WVS has collected data from different countries and cultural backgrounds, providing rich resources for studying social change and cultural differences.
The 8th wave of the WVS (2024-2026) is currently underway, focusing on global issues such as political trust, climate change, and social tolerance, while also contributing to the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals. Researchers are invited to join as Principal Investigators, particularly in underrepresented regions such as Central America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia, and the Middle East. Principal Investigators will play a key role in overseeing national surveys, raising funds, and ensuring methodological standards, with the opportunity to access data early and include up to 40 country-specific questions. This is an invaluable chance to shape global discourse and contribute to a deeper understanding of societal values in diverse regions.
