Percentages and frequencies were used in further descriptive statistics analysis. The study's findings were also explained via graphical representations. Inferential statistics were also examined using a t-test in the study. Cronbach alpha on the Likert questions used in the study was also utilized to establish the study's reliability. The study's validity was investigated using Confirmatory Factorial Analysis and the General Least Squares approach.
