There was a nice (not NICE!) article by Craig Brown in the Telegraph 17
May. It started with the observation released by the Samaritans, to mark
the start of its fundraising week, that "around 40 per cent of people
think they are more stressed today than five years ago." Brown then
considers the effect of stress surveys in raising stress, but concludes
that "60 per cent are less stressed, or no more stressed, than they were.
Is this good or bad news for the Samaritans"
The full text is available on the telegraph website.
Following Ray Thomas's editorial in RSS News, I suggest that good data
analysis requires a combination of critical examination of the Pstatistics
with sufficient width of knowledge of Mstatistics to carry out
investigative analysis.
