This study aims to determine whether the level of individualism and uncertainty avoidance of a country has an effect on Cumulative Abnormal Stock Market Return (CASMR) and Abnormal Stock Market Volatility (AVOLA). The results of this study will show whether the level of individualism and uncertainty avoidance of a country will affect CASMR and AVOLA by using the control variable the level of population density per square kilometer and economic growth with the proxy for growth of Gross Domestic Products (GDP). The results of this study can be useful for stakeholders in issuing regulations to maintain stock market stability by looking at investor behavior that describes market behavior. The sample selection in this study used purposive sampling method. The population in this study is the stock market in each country affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample in this study was 53 stock markets in each country. To test the relationship between variables, this study uses multiple regression analysis. This study uses signalling theory in formulating hypotheses that lead to the results of research analysis.
