Social behavior is influenced by multiple factors; however, empirical evidence explaining how social interaction frequency, group cooperation, and social sensitivity shape social behavior while considering gender differences remains limited. Gender-based differences in social behavior are often discussed normatively rather than analytically. This study aims to examine the effects of social interaction frequency, group cooperation, and social sensitivity on the social behavior index, with gender serving as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed. Data were collected from 83 male and female respondents selected using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that social interaction frequency and group cooperation do not have a significant effect on the social behavior index. Social sensitivity significantly influences gender but does not directly affect the social behavior index. Gender has a significant effect on the social behavior index and mediates the relationship between social sensitivity and social behavior. These results highlight the importance of psychosocial factors and gender construction in shaping individual social behavior.
