PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRITATION OF DATA

This chapter provides the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data

which were gathered by the researchers. The data are presented in tables and were analyzed and
interpreted to effectively answer the problems presented in this study through the statistical
treatments used by the researchers.

Table 1.1 shows the distribution of the respondents according to their age.

The respondents within the age of sixteen (16) years old got the highest percentage
taking of thirty-six percent (36%) of the subject populations, followed by age seventeen (17)
years old, with thirty-four percent (34%), and whose age is eighteen (18) years old, with twenty-
four percent (24%) . Those who age fifteen (15) subjects that is equivalent to six percent

Table 1.3 shows the distribution of the respondents according to their grade level

In terms of grade level, the respondent’s grade 11 and grade 12 stem students have fifty percent
(50%) . Computer games have changed to one of the leading forms of global media productions
which promote war and violence. Children and adolescents fill their time with playing these

Table 3.1 shows the level of aggressiveness of computer gamers based on their test result.

Like what the above table present, it can be seen the majority of subject have a low
level of aggressiveness. Meaning, they have low capacity when it come to their behaviour.
However, in item number 8, it shows that subject scored average in this item. The researchers
found that when playing games that boosted players’ confidence, they enjoyed the games more
and exhibited lower levels of aggression. These behaviour patterns were independent of the
violent or nonviolent content of the game. (Maldonado M.,2018)

the respondents. In terms of gender has a critical value of -0.0602 and the researchers Accept the
HO which means there is no significant in terms of gender. In terms of Grade level has a critical
