Our project focuses on the correlation between various types of relationships and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals over 50 in israel. The data we used to answer our research question comes from a survey by Dr. Kuhn-Schwartz. This survey consists of multiple-choice questions focusing on the lives of older LGBTQ individuals. The responses were compiled into a data file. We analyzed key features related to well-being, such as relationship quality, life satisfaction, anxiety levels ,and more ,to address our research question.
-
The data that was provided to us was in an IBM file, but we replaced it with an Excel file for easier work so the new data should be an xlsx file.
-
The data file "data_toshare.xlsx" should be placed in "Data" folder.
