Hypothesis
Women experience different pandemic stressors in masculine and feminine cultures.
Note
Women in more masculine cultures were more likely to report disorientation/confusion (p<0.01, Wald coefficient=10.38, odds ratio=1.025). Women in more feminine cultures were more likely to experience stressors related to relationships (p<0.01, Wald coefficient=7.91, odds ratio=0.986), fear/anger (p<0.05, Wald coefficient=6.53, odds ratio=0.987), and sadness/fatigue (p<0.01, Wald coefficient=8.73, odds ratio=0.983).
