Does demographic profile of a person effect the perceptions of dependence of family honor on female virginity?

I want to make sure to say that I know you are working hard on this I would reach out to some of
your mentors and get some direction here. You need to settle on a method and move forward time
is beginning to run short Given the raw distribution on the scale above, you may want to do a zero
inflation model this requires recoding the outcome (strongly disagree ==0 and climb up) then the
scale is stepwise increase above fully disagreement

I am not sure on this and I am not sure I ever bought the scale. Without a solid Y variable, regression
analyses are very difficult. My reading of this info here is that there is not a solid Y and I am unclear
what the X variable of interest is. You are an area without much literature, so you are left to your own
devices here and this is causing some problems. Keep at it! It can be frustrating, but when you
overcome these issues, I think the paper will be better for it and, hopefully, you will have a better
understanding of a wide range of statistical models.
