A data frame with 50 rows and 7 variables:

state: Factor with 50 levels
well_being_2010: Well being score in 2010
kidney_rate: Rate of non-directed kidney donation (# donations / total state population) from 1999-2010
well_being_2013: Well being score in 2013
well_being_2010_rounded: Well Being score from 2010 rounded to two decimal places
kidney_rate_per1000: kidney_rate variable rescaled so that the donation rate is expressed per thousand people
wb_change: Change in well being from 2010 to 2013. Note that the rounded values were used to compute this variable, for consistency with the Excel file from which this dataset was extracted.

Most of the data comes from:

Brethel-Haurwitz, K. M., & Marsh, A. a. (2014). Geographical differences in subjective well-being predict extraordinary altruism. Psychological Science, 25, 762-771. http://doi.org/10.1177/0956797613516148

Data were extracted from Figure 1 using http://arohatgi.info/WebPlotDigitizer/app/

Some data are from a 2013 Gallup poll, not the Brethel-Haurwitz et al paper.
