| Symbol | Explanation |
| DM | DIFFERENCE of MEANS Type: descriptive statistic only. Measurement level: Correlate: dichotomous, Happiness: metric Range: depending on the happiness rating scale of the author; range symmetric about zero. Meaning: the difference of the mean happiness, as measured on the author's rating scale, between the two correlate levels. |
| OLRC | OLRC: Regression coefficient in ordered categorical logistic regression. Only the sign of the computed coefficient is informative. Happiness is an ordered categorical variable. Higher categories correspond to being happier. OLRC < 0 indicates that the odds of being beyond a chosen happiness category-to- be-ing at or below that category decreases when 1) the corresponding metric correlate increases 2) the corresponding category of a categorical correlate is compared to the reference category. OLRC > 0 indicates an increase in the odds for both the above cases. |
