Figure 1

Distribution of life satisfaction. Figure 1a shows the distribution of life satisfaction re- sponses over the 10 point life satisfaction scale. The effect of rescaling onto a 1–6 scale are shown in Figure 1b (where scale ranging from 0–4 was grouped as 1, scale ranging from 5–6 was grouped 2, and the remaining scale ranging from 7–10 were rated as 3–6 respectively). The rescaled version provided a relatively normal distribution with a mean life satisfaction at about scale 4 with the largest pro- portion (≈27%) among all categories.
