Map image

The map found on the website was in fact copied from Wikimedia, not vice versa! See My Talk page. --DancingPhilosopher (talk) 11:49, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Sadly, it may survive there, but not here, because copyright paranoia: commons:Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:Inglehart_Values_Map2.svg. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:01, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Religions clusters

Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland are considered protestant europe here, while a higher larger share of the population is catholic.

Switzerland e.g. 38.% catholic, 26.1% protestant as of 2013, 15 years or older www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/de/index/themen/01/05/blank/key/religionen.html

What is the Intent behind designating those as Protestant anyway?

I suggest to either rename the Cluster Nordic-Germanic (as it includes most germanic nations and the non-germanic finland) or to reshape the protestant cluster and catholic cluster to adapt to the actual religious demography.

Where is Islam or the Middle East?

Different editions have different clusters, some of them omit Islam/ME. I am not aware of any place that lists all versions of the map from different years, so it's hard to be sure which ones omit it. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:23, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

The different versions are all available at http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org Agnerf (talk) 08:25, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

First published when?

Can anyone find when the first map was published? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:22, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

I have added a history section. The first version I can find is from 1997. There may be earlier versions as well. Agnerf (talk) 08:22, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Canada

Looking at the 2020 cultural map, I expected Canada to be with the other Five Eyes countries in the "English-Speaking" group, or somewhere nearby, but I can't see Canada anywhere. Am I overlooking it, or is it missing? And what is the unlabeled dot above Iran (toward the top of the “African-Islamic” group)? --Rwilkin (talk) 13:07, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Delted. Two people tried to contact the IWV team, they replied and first then stopped replying. Ugh, trying to get through to them is not easy (see above). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:43, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

"Potential racism"?

It simply is blatantly racist to the extent it views the North European corner as the "correct one". How hard have the creators and funders actually pushed that point? or is that just unsourced commentary from the editors here?

Traditional values emphasize the importance of religion, parent-child ties, deference to authority and traditional family values. People who embrace these values also reject divorce, abortion, euthanasia and suicide. These societies have high levels of national pride and a nationalistic outlook.

... and the PRC ranks 3 deviations less deferential to authority, traditional family values, and familial ties and more embracing of divorce, abortion, and suicide than the US? Japan looks to be 4?

I don't know what's broken here but some thumb is obviously pushing on this scale extremely hard. I get that they want Israel, Pakistan, India, and Africa to "act more like China and Japan" but there is no actual way the data actually shows what they're claiming it does. — LlywelynII 01:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
