Answer the following questions:
There are many variables that correlate with happiness such as age, education, social support, and good health. There is research to suggest that self-esteem is another variable that is positively correlated with happiness.
Hypothesis: it is predicted that higher scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale will be significantly associated with higher scores on the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire.
a. What does your data say about your levels of happiness? Remember, the most unhappy score you can get is a "1" and the happiest is a "6." The average person scores slightly over 4. Please interpret your levels of happiness.
b. What does your data say about your levels of self-esteem? Remember, the highest score you can get is 30. Scores below 15 indicate low self-esteem. Please interpret your levels of self-esteem.
c. If you scores were not 100% (i.e., 6 out of 6 for happiness or 30 out of 30 for self-esteem) on either scales, how might you improve your levels of happiness and/or self-esteem? You must use two (but no more than four) scholarly sources in your answer so your response is guided by science rather than personal opinion.
d. Is your data generally in-line with the hypothesis of this study? Specifically, explain whether your happiness and self-esteem scores move in the same direction?
