Reasons for being worried when you are out alone

FIGURE 2

With reference to Figure 1, 76% of students are anxious when going out alone. Although
50% felt worried at night, only 10.5% in the afternoon felt scared.
From Figure 2, security appears to be the main concern followed by safety.
It seems that students who are alone at night are prone to getting worried over their state
of being free from danger or threat.

3.2 The findings suggest that students could not go out with ease at any time of the day. As a
Conclusion result of this study, a proposal will be made to the safety committee to look into ways to
increase the comfortability levels of the students.
