PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF
RESULTS/FINDINGS
This part of the study involves analysis and interpretation of the gathered data.
These were treated with statistical tools, presented in tables and figures, which were all

females with a total number of nine (9) equivalent to fifty-three percent (53%). On the

This is due to many factors: society and the media, disapproval from family and friends,
having no support group, trauma, and bullying. Some of these may be the reasons why a
few respondents were found to have low self-esteem. Nevertheless, majority of the

respondents had normal self-esteem levels. These individuals may be practicing positive
thinking, balanced self-love, nurturing healthy relationships, and looking at the true
meaning of life.

bullying behavior as measured by the IBS. It can be seen that under the bully subscale,
five (5) respondents or twenty-nine percent (29%) were not involved, eleven (11) or
sixty-five percent (65%) were mild bullies, one (1) or six percent (6%) was a moderate
bully. In the victim subscale, four (4) respondents or twenty-three percent (23%) were not
involved, seven (7) or forty-one percent (41%) were mild victims, three (3) or eighteen
percent (18%) were moderate victims, and lastly, the same number were revealed to
severe victims of bullying. Under the fight subscale, fifteen (15) respondents or eighty-

involved in mild to moderate bullying and being a victim may have a hard time
regulating their emotions. Some victims may also be bullies themselves. Respondents
involved in bullying are possibly engaged in such behavior because of peer pressure, they
have a violent family member, and/or enjoy receiving rewards such as feeling in control
and owning other peoples belongings. Moreover, bullies lack empathy and are usually
impulsive, as well.

and shows, are surrounded with more affectionate people, have a healthy emotional state

Correlation Results Obtained Between Respondents
Self-Esteem and Bullying Behavior
Table 2 presents the correlation results between the respondents self-esteem and
bullying behavior. The Cramers V coefficient value of 0.28842 or 0.29 reflected the
degree of association as moderately small positive correlation. Since the calculated Chi-
Square value of 1.4142 was less than the critical value of 5.991 with 2 degrees of
freedom, it was concluded that the relationship between the respondents self-esteem and
bullying behavior was not significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis was accepted. Self-
