Codes and Frequencies
Description
LSHAPPY indicates how happy the respondent feels with all aspects of his or her life.
This variable is available for women and men.
Comparability
In rounds 4 and 5, the universe was typically restricted to 15-24 year old respondents for both men and women, and overall life satisfaction was captured in addition to general happiness through another question; see LSOVERALL.
In round 6, a numeric rating of the respondent's overall life satisfaction (LSLADDER) was recorded in addition to this variable.
