Proportional odds assumption is violated for age (p < 0.001) and kids (p = 0.005); odds ratio for age and kids corresponds to the odds ratio of being more satisfied than the corresponding satisfaction category; odds ratio for the other covariances to the odds ratio of being more satisfied in general is independent of the satisfaction category.
CI, confidence interval; GHQ, General Health Questionnaire; NS, nonsignificant; OR, odds ratio; PSS, Perceived Stress Scale.
