Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Smith, for her guidance and support throughout my dissertation process. I would also like to thank the rest of my dissertation committee, Professors Jones and Brown, for their valuable input and feedback.
I am also grateful to my family and friends for their support and encouragement during this process. In particular, I would like to thank my parents for their always believing in me.
Finally, I would like to thank all of the participants in my study for their time and cooperation. Without them, this research would not have been possible.
