Forty-four Covariance Matrices on Life Satisfaction, Job Satisfaction, and Job Autonomy
Description
Between 1990 and 1993, 57,561 adults aged 18 and above from 42 nations
were interviewed by local academic institutes in Eastern European
nations and by professional survey organizations in other nations. The
covariance matrices among Life Satisfaction, Job Satisfaction, and Job Autonomy were calculated.
Usage
data(wvs94b)
Details
The variables are:
data
Covariance matrix among Life Satisfaction (LS), Job
Satisfaction (JS), and Job Autonomy (JA)
n
Sample size in the country

Examples
## Not run:
data(wvs94b)
## Get the indirect and the direct effects and
## their sampling covariance matrices for each study
indirect1 <- indirectEffect(wvs94b$data, wvs94b$n)
indirect1
## Multivariate meta-analysis on the indirect and direct effects
indirect2 <- meta(indirect1[, c("ind_eff", "dir_eff")],
indirect1[, c("ind_var", "ind_dir_cov", "dir_var")])
summary(indirect2)
