ABSTRACT
Communication studies overlaps and draws from a significant number of other disciplines—sociology, psychology, English, philosophy, women’s studies, gender studies, ethnic studies, and business, to name just a few. The age of participants and status as college students may create statistical anomalies. The student makes a potential inaccuracy about the data. The student assumes that the number of times someone drives equates with time spent driving. A simple table with male/female on the vertical and the type of violation across the top would simplify the review of the results for the reader. Tables easily display results and allow for the researcher to unpack and explain the most salient points in the text, instead of writing up every point of data in the text. The student provides the mode and median scores for the self-evaluation. The student explains that the mode and median scores may demonstrate comfort with a motor vehicle.
