No matter if the subject was black or white, 12 year olds who were children of authoritarian parents had a higher likelihood of not becoming or engaging in HED than others in the study (Clark et al., 2015).

There was a great amount of statistics presented and visual graphs and charts were used to represent and describe these statistics for those who are more visual learners. The researchers did a thorough job describing and presenting the results of the study through various analyses, graphs, and charts as
