**3.4 Data analysis**

We used mean analysis with standard deviations and kurtosis to examine the preferred leadership styles by students using SPSS package version 26. The means for the preference for leadership styles were ranked using scales: 1 = very low, 2 = low, 3 = high, 4 = very high. We further used regression analysis to determine the relationship between age, level and preference for autocratic leadership styles.
