I am doing a project and i have the data and answers, but I dont get how come they are those answers. It is in PDF on page 5 bottom and there is a table: table 3 (Focus on Model 2 only and only on extraversion, emotional stability and openness).
(Sorry the link doesnt work. Go to scholar.google.com and type "who interacts on the web". The first link, you click on the PDF on the right side, not the first link)
I dont get the results(Which is in red).
"Regarding the first research question, which examined whether the relationship between personality predictors and social media use differ by gender, the results revealed several differences. This is consistent with previous suggestions made by other studies. For men, extraversion was positively related to social media use, b=.10, p=.05 while emotionally stability turned out to be negatively related to the usage of these online social applications, b= -.16, p= .003 (see Table 3). Openness to experience was not statistically significant, b=-.03, p= .56. The more extraverted and anxious males are more likely to engage in socially interactive applications of the Web. For this group, the personality traits explained 3.4% of the variance in social media use, F(8, 314) = 15.59, p< .001, and emotional stability yielded the largest standardized coefficient of the personality traits. Similar to the total sample, males’ life satisfaction disappeared as a predictor when the personality traits were included in the analysis, b= -.04, p= .50. For women, extraversion and openness to experience were positively related to social media use. In contrast to men, emotional stability was unrelated to social media use, b= -.05, p= .24 (see Table 3). Women with higher levels of extraversion and openness tend to use social media more frequently. Both extraversion and openness had similar standardized coefficients, b= .14, p= .001; b= .12, p= .003, respectively. In this group, the personality traits explained 4.3% of the variance in social media use, F(8, 642) = 10.93, p< .001. In contrast to what happened in the males’ group, life satisfaction never played a role in social media use for this sample of females"
I am new to statistics and completely lost on how emotional stability is unrelated to social media for men. I dont see how beta is the answer when s.e. isnt there and also how come the p-value isnt used as the answer because I see a p-value above the significance level.
