Compare the impact of war on the country’s happiness index with the United States and Yemen

The reason behind driving me to chose this topic is because the middle east is a region that has been involved in many different wars during the past decades. Meanwhile, the U.S. has been relatively peaceful, with the only exception of the 9/11 attack. So, based on the World Values survey I want to compare how happy citizens are in the U.S. compared to Yemen in the middle east that has been in a civil war.

I chose the research topic “V10” and “V185” from the 2010-2012 world values codebook. For that, “V10” there have 4 different categories in taking all things together, would you say you are happy. In category 1 is “ Very Happy,” the 2 is “Rather Happy,” the 3 is “Not very happy,” and category 4 is “Not at all happy.” Plus,” V185” there also have 4 categories in what degree of worries about a civil war situation. Category 1 is “Very much,” 2 is “ A good deal,” 3 is Not much,” 4 is “Not at all.”

The results can hopefully help us reflect on the consequences of war. Furthermore, to create frequency tables in both countries by using the country’s code (V2), the United States is 840, and Yemen is 887 in the survey; review the result from those responders. Besides that, I planned to create a crosstab and my hypothesis implies people who live in the country that are involving a civil war feeling less happy. Thus, I need the probability of the chi-square’s result to verify my hypothesis of a relationship within happiness and war.
