  1. Grid-Group Analyses in the Modeling the Cultural Change and Political ViolenceWhat we can get from the World Value Survey Presenter: Ming Liu October 10, 2007

  2. Grid-Group Framework for Representation of Culture • ABSTRACT DIMENSIONS • Grid = • extent to which social rules prescribe and restrict action • Group = • extent to which identity is directed towards others • Widely used in Cult./Soc. Anthropology and Political Science: Douglas 1970, 1978; Douglas and Wildavsky 1982; Wildavsky et al. 1990. Adapted for choice-theoretic models in Chai and Wildavsky 1993; Chai and Swedlow 1998.

  4. How to Determine the Grid-Group Characteristics • From various survey-cross cultures • WVS (cross-country) • ISSP (cross-country) • Other surveys (cross-ethnicity within a country) • From the scenario questions for cultural changes • Our own survey and shortcomings • Validate WVS survey

  5. Validate WVS Survey-Our Survey Questionnaire Design, the Grid Questions

  6. Validate WVS Survey-Our Survey Questionnaire Design, the Group Questions

  7. Compare the result of our survey and WVS • No significant difference between our survey and WVS for most questions. • After controlled the age and education variation, our survey and WVS are same for almost all questions. • Different statistical tests suggest that we can use WVS to generate our Grid-Group index for further analyses.

  8. World Value Survey-Basic Background • Wave 1, 1980-81, 22 countries • Wave 2, 1989-90, 42 countries • Wave 3, 1994-95, 54 countries • Wave 4, 2000-01, 62 countries • Wave 5, 2005-06, not release yet • Weighted by 1500 observations per country • 250 questions • Unfortunately, the questionnaire changed. One important grid question and one important group question are eliminated from wave 4 of WVS

  9. Result of Wave 1

  10. Result of Wave 3

  11. Interesting Results and Further Suggestions • Relationship between grid and economic development-investigate the relationship between economic freedom and economic development • Political violence-investigate how the political environment affect people’s values • New independent countries-How affect group and grid trend • Single Ethnicity Countries-high group trend/nationalism
