减缓新冠肺炎的传播需要人们通过遵循防护措施来积极改变自己的生活，比如物理距离和给手消毒。对新冠肺炎个人风险的看法可能会影响对这些做法的遵守。在这项研究中，我们评估了跨国(英国、美国和德国)在疫情早期(2020年3月16日；2020年4月1日；2020年5月20日)进行的纵向设计中对新冠肺炎的风险认知和乐观情绪。我们的主要发现是：(I)人们对感染和感染他人表现出相对乐观的倾向，但不是因为得到严重的症状，(Ii)这种乐观倾向不会随着时间的推移而改变，(Iii)乐观倾向似乎与感知到的对行动的控制水平有关，(Iv)风险感知与有关疾病的公开信息有关，(V)人们报告坚持采取保护措施，但这些措施似乎与风险感知无关，以及(Vi)风险感知与关于压力和焦虑的问题有关。在其他横断面样本中，我们重复了我们最重要的发现。我们的公开和部分预先登记的结果详细描述了三个西方国家在新冠肺炎大流行早期阶段的风险认知和乐观信念。
Slowing the spread of COVID-19 requires people to actively change their lives by following protective practices, such as physical distancing and disinfecting their hands. Perceptions about the personal risk of COVID-19 may affect compliance with these practices. In this study, we assessed risk perception and optimism about COVID-19 in a multinational (UK, USA and Germany), longitudinal design during the early stages of the pandemic (16 March 2020; 1 April 2020; 20 May 2020). Our main findings are that (i) people showed a comparative optimism bias about getting infected and infecting others, but not for getting severe symptoms, (ii) this optimism bias did not change over time, (iii) optimism bias seemed to relate to perceived level of control over the action, (iv) risk perception was linked to publicly available information about the disorder, (v) people reported adhering closely to protective measures but these measures did not seem to be related to risk perception, and (vi) risk perception was related to questions about stress and anxiety. In additional cross-sectional samples, we replicated our most important findings. Our open and partly preregistered results provide detailed descriptions of risk perceptions and optimistic beliefs during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in three Western countries.
