Moaddel, M. (2019, February 13). Comparative Values Survey of Islamic Countries.
Summary
The Comparative Values Survey of Islamic Countries is a subset of the World Values Survey that was conducted from 1999 to 2006 and examines the beliefs, attitudes and behaviors of individuals in fifteen nations with Islamic majorities. Representative samples of each nation's population are surveyed on their opinions regarding religion, politics, gender roles, well-being and numerous other issues concerning social values and morality.
Each national team is responsible for its own expenses. Most surveys are financed by local scientific foundations. However, central funding has been obtained in cases where local funding is not possible.
Collection Procedures
The mode of data collection for Comparative Islamic Values surveys is face-to-face interviewing.
Sampling Procedures
Sampling procedures for each country varied slightly; however, generally, representative samples were collected from each country. For a full explanation of country-specific collection procedures. See the additional document titled "Comparative Values Survey of Islamic Countries Country-Specific Collection and Sampling Procedures."
EWEIGHT and EWEIGHT2 - These two equilibrated weights are simply equal. There is no difference, except for the absolute values obtained, which are scaled by 1.5 ratio (percentages should not change). The reason to include both is that some researchers like an equal N of 1000 and others prefer 1500.
