I scored slightly higher than the average mean for routine seeking, emotional reaction, short- term focus, and slightly lower on cognitive rigidity for a total resistance of 3.29 compared to the mean of 3.09. I agree with these results for the following reasons: I can see both the pros and cons of change and am not typically inclined

With these results a hypothesis is developed ,statistical analysis are given, asumptions and limitations are specified to increase an outcome which is developed through numerical ideas.

For example, in interval 1 at Observation 1, there is an X for Ian, but none for Matt. So, that is a disagreement. At interval 2, however, both Ian and Matt have
