You could standardize the dependent variable, e.g.
then re-run your regression, and the betas you get now have the interpretation that a one unit change in the IV increases the DV by beta standard deviations. Otherwise, you could obtain the SD of the DV from summary statistics, and do the math manually.Code:egen dv_std = std(dv)
Be aware that it can be very hard to answer a question without sample data. You can use the dataex command for this. Type help dataex at the command line.
When presenting code or results, please use the code delimiters format them. Use the # button on the formatting toolbar, between the " (double quote) and <> buttons.
