A number of relevant figures and tables are also presented in chapter four.
During the final chapter, findings from the analyses are discussed. This researcher also presents conclusions regarding the validity of the hypothesis for research project. This researcher also reflects upon this research project's aim and objectives, initially presented in this study's first chapter. At the end of this learning experience, recommendations for future study relating to bullying are also presented.
Aims and Objectives
Aim
