6. Limitations
A major limitation is the utilization of web-based methods for data
collection, thus resorting to nonprobability volunteer sampling, which
is subject to selection bias. Furthermore, one crucial limitation was
that we could not reach out to all the Emirates due to our restricted
pool of connections on social media. Hence, most of our participants
were from the Emirate of Sharjah, which compromises our ability to
generalize our results. Moreover, most participants were females;
accordingly, a fair comparison between the two genders was not possible.
Another limiting factor was that the overall sample size was smaller
than our anticipated sample size.
