Mean responses to the questions whether anxiety, mood or suicidal thoughts changed as well as mean scores in the psychometric scales by gender and degree of lockdown. Factorial ANOVAs with gender (only males/females) and lockdown degree as grouping factors and each of the 8 columns as dependent variables returned significant effects for both gender and lockdown degree as well as for their interaction.
