TABLE 4.
Summary of the moderating effect of gender
| Cyberbullying | |
|---|---|
| Variable entered | Beta |
| Step 1 (R2 = .68) | |
| COVID‐19 Influence | .84*** |
| Step 2 (R2 change = .00) | |
| Gender | .06 |
| Step 3 (R2 change = .01) | |
| COVID‐19 Influence × Gender | .18 |
The results in this table below show that gender is not a moderator variable due to the insignificance of the relationship. H2 is rejected. Such findings get us to the point that COVID‐19's tendency to cyberbully is unrelated to the individual's gender. Whether the person was a female or male, both genders seem to be influenced equally by the COVID‐19 and react similarly to it when it comes to bullying.
