RESULTS OF PHASE TWO: QUANTITATIVE
In this chapter, the results of the Phase Two, which is the quantitative phase of the study,
are presented. The primary purpose of the quantitative phase was to assess the validity and
reliability of the questionnaire developed as a result of the first, qualitative phase. For this
purpose, this chapter presents the results of the statistical analyses of the quantitative data
collected from both the pilot study and main study. The specific analyses performed include
exploratory factor analysis with principal component extraction (and varimax rotation),
reliability analysis with Cronbach’s alpha, Bartlett’s test of sphericity, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin
measure of sampling adequacy, the Pearson product-moment correlation, and other relevant
descriptive analyses. This chapter first presents the results of the pilot study, and then it
elaborates more on the results of the main study.
