Weight
Variable S017 is the general weight as provided in the EVS waves. These weights are meant to adjust some socio-demographic characteristics (e.g. age, sex, region of residence and/or educational level) in the sample population to the distribution of the target population. For the EVS waves 1 to 3, variable S017 is based on the original weights provided by each EVS country. For EVS 2008 and EVS 2017 the national weights have been computed by the EVS for all national datasets on the basis of information and population statistics provided by the EVS countries.
EVS 1981: Adjusts the national samples for age distribution in the national population. The target number of interviews in each country was set at 1000, with an additional booster quota sample of 200 young adults aged 18-24.
EVS 1990: Adjusts the national samples for gender and age distribution in the national population. For Germany additionally the disproportional East and West German samples have been adjusted. The US sample was also weighted for race and the Italian sample was additionally corrected for level of education.
EVS 1999: The variable ‘weight_g’ contains the national weights. For most countries gender, age, and region were adjusted to the distribution in the national population. For Germany (united) additionally the disproportional East and West German samples have been adjusted. For summarized information on weighting in EVS 1999, see the EVS 1999 Source book of the 1999/2000 European Values Study Surveys at https://dbk.gesis.org/dbksearch/file.asp?file=ZA3811_sourcebook.pdf.
EVS 2008: Variable ‘weight_g’ is constructed on the basis of gender and age categories (-24; 25-34; ...; 65-74; 75 and over). When the information on respondent's gender or year of birth was missing in the data or outside the range, the case was coded '0' being dropped of the sample by weighting. For the regions of Germany (East and West) and Belgium (Brussels capital region, Flanders and Walloon region) the weight corrects for the disproportional sample size of these regions in both countries as well. The weight variable should be used with caution. Especially when the weights are “big”, say outside the 0.50-2.00 range. For further information please see EVS 2008 Method Report (https://dbk.gesis.org/dbksearch/download.asp?id=17682).
EVS 2017: This weight is aimed at adjusting some socio-demographic characteristics in the sample population to the distribution of the target population. It has been computed using the marginal distribution of Age, Sex, Education and Region (NUTS-2). It is also trimmed at the 97.5th percentile in order to avoid extreme values. For details on the construction of weights, see the ‘European Values Study (EVS) 2017: Weighting data’ [https://doi.org/10.21241/ssoar.70113].

Die European Values Study ist eine transnationale empirische Langzeitstudie, die in Verantwortung der European Values Study Fundation seit 1981 in einem 9-jährigen Turnus durchgeführt wird. Die wiederholte Querschnittserhebungen decken ein breites Spektrum an Themen ab, die sich auf zentrale Lebensbereiche wie Arbeit und Freizeit, Familie und Sexualität, Religion, Politik und Ethik erstrecken. Der EVS-Datenbestand umfasst die integrierten Datensätze für die einzelnen Wellen und zusätzlich für die Wellen 1999 und 2008 die nationalen Datensätze. Frage, die mindestens zweimal in EVS, oder in EVS und WVS wiederholt wurden, werden in das EVS Trend File kumuliert. Das Trend File des EVS kann mit dem Trend File des World Values Surveys (WVS) zu dem Integrated Values Surveys Data File zusammengefügt werden.

The European Values Study is a large-scale, cross-national and longitudinal survey research program conducted under the responsibility of the European Values Study Foundation since 1981. The cross-sectional surveys, repeated in a 9-year cycle, cover a broad range of topics on central areas of life such as work and leisure time, family and sexuality, religion, politics and ethics. The EVS holding includes integrated datasets on every EVS wave and, in addition, the national datasets for the 1999 and 2008 waves. Questions repeated at least twice in EVS, or EVS and WVS, are cumulated in the EVS Trend File. The EVS Trend File can easily be merged with the World Values Survey (WVS) Trend File into the Integrated Values Surveys Data File.
