Note. Unstandardized regression coefficients are presented in the table; gender was coded as a dummy variable, with 1 = women and 0 = men; country was coded as a dummy variable, Romania = 1 and Kazakhstan = 0; Model 1 reports the main effects and Model 2 includes interaction effects; N=sample size for the analyses; R² =the R squared value; † p < 0.10; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
