Your interpretation is interesting and well thought out, especially your point about the sample being volunteers, which likely explains the high scores. I also agree that the skew toward “Agree” and “Strongly Agree” suggests a generally confident group with similar responses.
However, I’m curious about your interpretation of the “most surprising finding.” Could it be that security-related skills (like SMS verification) are actually more practical and commonly used, so participants feel more confident about them than more abstract ideas like “following digital trends”?
You might also consider whether self-report bias plays a role here, since participants may rate themselves higher in areas they think are important.
