The dependent variable is the extent of democracy, while my independent variable is the country’s present economic conditions. My research question is the query of whether real assumptions exist between the extent of democracy and the country’s current economic conditions? Relevant statistics exist to show us how we could explain statistical data in real terms. My goal was to define and analysis specific options to prove whether relationship exists. I have come to the final verdict that the positive effect of citizens’ perceptions of their current economic conditions tells a lot about how they react to the extent of democracy. There are 51587 respondents with 7.8% missing or not applicable to the current study. The crosstabulation table tells us the extent of relationship between the two variables (Laureate Education, 2016a).). In a nutshell, values from extent of democracy were cross tabulated with the values of country’s present economic conditions. For example, 17.1%, 12.3%, 8.9%, 6.5% and 6.3% of very bad, fairly bad, neither good nor bad, fairly good, and very good respectively showed percent differences of region that is not democratic. The P-value for both Chi-Square Tests and Cramer’s V is 0.000. This value is well below the conventional threshold of 0.05. Therefore, we can reject null hypothesis that there is no difference between country’s present economic conditions and the extent of democracy.
