Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan teori kesopanan dari Brown dan Levinson dan strategi menolak dari Felix. Penemuan dari penelitian ini dijelaskan berdasarkan permasalahan. Pertama, berdasakan pada penemuan penelitian penulis menemukan bahwa menolak secara langsung muncul paling banyak dalam strategi menolak dimana mempunyai nilai 46,2%. Posisi kedua adalah menolak secara tidak langsung 43% dan posisi terakhir adalah tambahan untuk menolak 10,8%. Penemuan kedua penulis menemukan bahwa bald on record paling sering muncul dalam strategi kesopanan yang mempunyai nilai 42,1%. Posisi kedua adalah kesopanan positif yang mempunyai nilai 29,5%. Posisi ketiga adalah kesopanan negative yang mempunyai nilai 26,6% dan posisi terakhir adalah off record yang mempunyai nilai 1,8%.
