ISSP COLLECTION NOW AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE ANALYSIS

The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is a voluntary group of survey research teams in about 30 countries. In our data bank you have access to the following surveys: 1998 – Religion, 1999 – Social Inequality, 2000 – Environment, 2001 – Social Networks, 2002 – Family, 2003 – National Identity, 2004 – Citizenship, and 2005 – Work Orientations.

INTERPERSONAL TRUST

A question that appears in almost all international comparative surveys is the 'Interpersonal Trust' question, usually asked in the following terms: "Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted or that you need to be very careful in dealing with people?" As the world map shows, the world doesn't trust much other people. Leaving appart the Northern Europe region (Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland), and six other countries with almost an equal number of people trusting and not trusting, the remaining ones fall under the equilibrium index. On the bottom side, Turkey, Trinidad and Tobago and Rwanda are the least trusty.

THE TECHNICAL CORNER

The WVS archive has to deal every day with many questions from researchers around the world. Most of these questions deal with weighting. Which variable should be used? Why are there so many? How are they calculated within countries? The purpose of this paper is to provide answers to all these questions and introduce readers to some new concepts such as the population balanced weight.
