SES-1042357Ronald InglehartJon MillerUniversity of MichiganThe World Values Survey (WVS) began collecting data from a large number of countries in 1981 and has collected data every five years from more than 90 countries since its inception. It is expected that more than 60 countries will participate in the 6th wave of the WVS in 2010-11. This project will complete the field work for the U.S. component of the 6th wave of WVS, expanding a set of items concerning attitudes toward science and technology.The WVS provides the only source of data on mass values and attitudes from countries containing a majority of the world?s population. The availability of data from the WVS over the last 25 years makes it possible to carryout cross-national analyses that (1) examine the impact of economic and technological change on people?s values, and (2) analyze the impact of individual-level values beliefs on societal-level phenomena such as the extent to which a society has democratic values. A set of items measuring attitudes toward science and technology were added to the 5th wave of the WVS and an expanded set of science and technology items will be included in the 6th wave. Current controversies over topics such as stem cell research, genetically modified crops, and climate change illustrate the importance of understanding the formation and distribution of these attitudes. Broader ImpactsThe values of individuals are changing and these changes have a major impact on a wide range of important societal-level phenomena, including the acceptance of science and technology. They also have a major influence on the extent to which a society has good governance and democratic institutions. Numerous researchers have used WVS data to analyze social change, producing hundreds of books and more than 1000 articles. More than 400,000 students and faculty from all six continents have visited the WVS web site and downloaded data and publications since the completion of the 5th wave in 2007.

SES-1042357 Ronald InglehartJon Miller 1981年，世界价值观调查（WVS）开始从大量国家收集数据，自成立以来，每五年从90多个国家收集数据。预计将有60多个国家参加2010-11年的第六次世界志愿服务大会。 该项目将完成第六次世界价值观调查美国部分的实地工作，扩大一套关于对科学和技术的态度的项目。世界价值观调查提供了关于世界上大多数国家的大众价值观和态度的唯一数据来源。的人口。过去25年来，世界人口统计局提供的数据使我们有可能进行跨国分析，（1）审查经济和技术变革对人们的影响？的价值观，和（2）分析个人层面的价值观信念对社会层面的现象，如在何种程度上，一个社会有民主的价值观的影响。在第五波WVS中增加了一套衡量对科学和技术的态度的项目，第六波中将包括一套扩大的科学和技术项目。目前关于干细胞研究、转基因作物和气候变化等主题的争论说明了理解这些态度的形成和分布的重要性。个人的价值观正在发生变化，这些变化对广泛的重要社会现象产生了重大影响，包括对科学和技术的接受。它们还对一个社会的善政和民主机构的程度产生重大影响。许多研究人员使用WVS数据来分析社会变化，产生了数百本书和1000多篇文章。自2007年第五次浪潮完成以来，来自六大洲的40多万名学生和教职员工访问了世界志愿服务组织的网站，下载了数据和出版物。
