Statistical analysis of the data was performed in computer environment using percentage calculations and chi-square test.

These myths were seen among second-third and fourth grade students at high rate, as well. Similarly, the same myths were found out to be at highest rate in terms of total rate. Comparing the sexual myths of the students according to their grades; while there is no statistically significant difference between the grades in terms of 21 myths, difference between the grades in terms of 29 myths is statistically significant.
