Hello!

I jsut started learning Stata and I am using a consensus data set and trying to combine a bunch of different variables to make one "Happy People" vs "Unhappy People" variable and then see which group is more active in Political Rallys. The variables I want to use are:

p_psych 1 (Self- Described Anxious rated 1 - 5)
p_mental (Mental Health rated 1 - 5)
p_life_ideal (In most ways my life is ideal rated 1 - 5)
p_life_sat (I am satisfied with my life rated 1 - 5)

If there's a way to combine these I would love to hear your thoughts! I have no idea what I'm doing so anything would help!

Thank you!
