College Students’ Definitions of Infidelity

21

Given that groups were being compared based on gender, data analysis included: frequencies, cross-tabulations, mean comparisons, and independent t-tests. A Cronbach’s Alpha reliability analysis was also conducted.

Results

The computer program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (S PSS) was used to analyze the data collected. The analyses variables were subjected to include: frequencies, cross-tabulations, mean comparisons, independent t-tests, and a reliability analysis. The first analysis run was a frequency distribution analysis. This analysis indicated that there was no data missing from the surveys. Cross-tabulations were run with the independent variable, GEN. For all dependent valuables comparing males and females, there appeared to be no large differences between genders (refer to Table 1 for Cross-Tabulations and Table 2 for Mean Comparisons).
