The GSS data set includes responses to questions about the respondent's general happiness (HAPPY) and his or her subjective class identification (CLASS). Analyze the relationship between responses to these two questions with the SPSS Crosstabs procedure, requesting counts and appropriate cell percentages. (Click on Analyze, Descriptive Statistics, and Crosstabs to get started.)
a. What percentage of working-class people responded that they were "very happy"?
b. What percentage of lower-class people were "very happy"?
c. What percentage of those who were "pretty happy" were also from the middle and upper classes?
d. Most of the people who said that they were "very happy" were from which two classes?
e. Is there a relationship between perceived class and perceived happiness? If there is a relationship, describe it. Is it strong or weak?
f. Rerun your analysis, this time adding RACECEN1 as a control variable. Is there a difference in the relationship between perceived class and happiness for whites and blacks in the sample? (Because of the large number of racial categories, just compare blacks and whites.)
