Review the corresponding variable labels in the “Variable View” in the MIDUS2011 file you are using so that you know what questions were used to measure these variables. Are there any ethical issues involved in asking these questions? Do you imagine that some respondents would be more likely to give untruthful answers to these questions than to others? Explain your answers.
