Mental distress and self-perceived wealth, justice and freedom across eight countries: The invisible power of the macrosystem

This data set comprises the data used for all analyses in the manuscript "Mental distress and self-perceived wealth, justice and freedom across eight countries: The invisible power of the macrosystem." The goal of this exploratory study was to investigate the relationship between perceived macro-level factors (wealth, justice and freedom) and mental distress. For that reason symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress as well as self-perceived wealth, justice and freedom were assessed in population-based surveys in Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
