score ranges observed for the t test analysis conducted to test the second hypothesis. Findings observed for this analysis were significant (t=2.9614; df=75.4; p=.0041). In other words, findings failed to confirm the null hypothesis and, instead, revealed a significant difference in the perceptions of graduate and undergraduate students.
