*3.5. Bivariate and Multivariable Analysis*

Bivariate analyses between demographic characteristics and the factors' scores that emerged from factor analysis are shown in Table 5. There were no significant associations between demographic characteristics and COVID-19 knowledge. Students that lived with others during the pandemic had more positive attitudes toward the restriction measures (*p* = 0.04), while females showed greater compliance with restriction measures (*p* = 0.02). In bivariate analyses, age, marital status, maternal educational level, and working before the pandemic were associated with volunteering. However, in the multivariable linear regression analysis, only increased age was associated with increased intention to volunteer (coefficient beta = 0.02, 95% confidence interval = 0.004 to 0.03, *p* = 0.011).
