Data Analysis:

Null Hypothesis 1: There is no significant difference between adolescent girls and boys in
regards to security-insecurity

To test the above, the Security-Insecurity Scale by Dr. Beena Shah (1989) was used to collect
the response of male and female adolescents. The collected sample was thoroughly analysed
using statistical applications like descriptive analysis and t-test for comparison of security-
insecurity feeling of adolescent male and females. The results for the same are summarised in
following table.
