2.4 Data Analysis
The obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS-22 software. Numbers and
percentages were used in statistical analyses. Histograms were used to
determine conformity to the normal distribution, skewness and kurtosis
values were examined, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov analyses were performed.
Independent samples t-test, One-Way ANOVA test, Mann-Whitney U test, and
Kruskal Wallis test were performed on the correlations between
socio-demographic characteristics and the scores obtained from overall
PTGI and its sub-dimensions. Mann-Whitney U and Duncan tests were used
to test the group differences. Finally, the statistical significance was
set at p < 0.05.
