疫苗可以在减少大流行病的负面后果方面发挥关键作用。在本文中,我们探讨了疫苗认知和接种意愿如何受到疫苗相关信息、疫苗原产国和国家认同的影响。研究1(N= 800)显示,与英国、德国和智利的疫苗相比,中国生产的疫苗被认为更负面。提供疫苗有效性信息(83%)增加了等待替代疫苗的偏好,降低了对中国疫苗有效性的感知。英国脱欧支持者普遍认为疫苗的安全性较低,尤其是认为来自中国的疫苗能力、有效性和可信度较低,并且不太愿意接种。研究2(N= 601)在很大程度上复制了研究1关于疫苗原产国影响的结果。此外,报告英国优越感较高的参与者对中国疫苗的态度更为消极。然而,除了研究2的上述主要影响外,我们试图操纵英国身份与签证全球身份,以检查特定的国家身份相关的结果并不成功。总的来说,疫苗的特性可以与各种社会心理因素相互作用,可能影响人们采取特定措施支持个人和公共卫生的看法和意愿。
Vaccines can play a crucial role in reducing the negative outcomes of pandemics. In this paper we explore how vaccine perceptions and uptake willingness can be affected by vaccine‐related information, the vaccine's country of origin, and national identity. Study 1 (N= 800) showed that a vaccine manufactured by China was perceived more negatively compared to vaccines from the UK, Germany, and Chile. Providing vaccine effectiveness information (83%) increased preference for waiting for an alternative vaccine and reduced perceived effectiveness of a vaccine from China. Brexit supporters perceived vaccines as less safe in general, and particularly thought of a vaccine from China as less competent, effective, and trustworthy, and were less prepared to have it. Study 2 (N= 601) largely replicated findings of Study 1 regarding the effects of a vaccine's country of origin. Moreover, participants who reported a higher sense of British superiority reported more negative attitudes towards a vaccine from China. However, apart from the aforementioned main effects of Study 2, our attempt to manipulate British identityvis a visa Global identity in order to examine particular national‐identity related outcomes was not successful. Overall, vaccine characteristics can interact with various social psychological factors, potentially affecting people's perceptions and willingness to uptake particular measures to support personal and public health.
