For computing the TRI, the average was taken based on the 4 factors, i.e. Optimism,
Innovativeness, Discomfort, and Insecurity. Then a combined average of 4 was taken to
calculate the overall TRI Score.
Innovative Optimism Insecurity Discomfort Overall
Male 4.5000 3.5000 3.0833 3.9167 3.2500
Female 4.1019 3.4259 2.8796 3.8148 3.2083
Overall TRI:
Innovative Optimism Insecurity Discomfort Overall
4.1417 3.4333 2.9000 3.8250 3.2125
We see that Males are slightly higher in Overall TRI score and in Innovative and Optimism factors,
while also having a better score in Insecurity and Discomfort (as they are higher the better).

This table shows that people are using technology a lot in the COVID times (i.e. at the time of filling
the responses), but are still not using it for Health related activities, whereas media consumption,
shopping and delivery services have been heavily done online. Also, Work and Study from Home have
gotten a big boost, making them something that has been done by many in recent times.
