Replication data for: Marriage and happiness: Providing evidence against a relationship between inequality and happiness in Oishi, Kesebir, and Diener (2011)

We obtained the same data as Oishi, Kesebir, and Diener (2011): Gini coefficients for income inequality from the U.S. Census Bureau, and the other variables from the General Social Survey. Besides the variables that the authors use - HAPPY (level of happiness), YEAR (year in which respondents participated in the survey), FAIR (how fair is society), TRUST (how trustworthy are other people) and Gini coefficients - we include other variables that they include in their multilevel multigroup analysis, but not in the main effect model or mediation analysis model: MARITAL (marital status), RACE (respondent's race), REALINC (reported income of the respondents in adjusted 1986 dollars), AGE (respondent's age), and SEX (respondent's gender). Variables were recoded to appropriately indicate NAs according to the GSS Codebook.
