Work, Stress, and Life Satisfaction
Description
These data are from a cross-sectional study examining whether people in larger companies are more stressed and experience different levels of life satisfaction than people working in smaller companies. The study also examines differences in stress and life satisfaction between those who work as employees and those who work as managers. Finally, the study looks at whether people in larger companies do more or less regular exercise and whether the latter is related to childhood exercise habits.

Steps to reproduce
Use the SWL and PSS (Satisfaction with Life - 5 items and Perceived Stress Scale - 14 items) and ask about childhood and current exercise habits, and workplace employee numbers in 4 categories (up to 10, 11-100, 101-1,000, and over 1,000). If needed, you can combine these into large (> 100) and small (< 100) companies. Collect demographic information such as age, gender, education level (basic/elementary, high school, university), perceived health on a 7-point scale, and perceived income on a 7-point scale. Ask for emplyment status in two categorical terms: employee or manager. Run chi-square and t-tests for group comparisons. Correlations/regression are feasible if the research question warrants it.
