Dichotomizing variables

Now that we've cleaned up our question names, let's work on the response variable. In the original analysis, they looked at the percent of people considering a behavior somewhat or very rude. To replicate this, we'll need to change our rude variable from the current responses to one that combines the somewhat and very rude answers.

Instructions

  • Create a new variable, rude, which is 0 if the value column is "No, not rude at all" or "No, not at all rude" and 1 otherwise.
