Table 11.13 Statistical analysis for item “I am able to easily find answers to my problems”
always enjoyed their lives. This positive response could have been induced by the
supportive learning environment enjoyed by the students [12].
The item that averaged the lowest (mean = 3.34; s.d. = 0.721) was the item “I
am able to easily find answers to my problems” (see Table 11.13). One student in the
survey was never able to easily find answers to his/her problems. Six respondents
rarely found answers to their problems too. Forty-eight of the respondents were only
able to find answers to their problems half the time. Thirty-one were often able to
solve their own problems while four of them were able to do so almost always. More
than half of the respondents only managed to solve their problems half the time. This
may be due to the respondents being young and rather immature to handling life
issues and challenges as adolescents.
Generally, the students who responded to this survey believed that their morale
was good which indicates a healthy mind and body to pursue their lives as university
students (mean = 3.88, s.d. = 0.684) (see Table 11.14). One student never felt that
his/her morale was good while one other person rarely felt so. Eighteen felt their
morale was positive only half the time. Nevertheless, fifty-eight respondents often
felt that their morale was good and twelve almost always felt so.
