This study examined the effects of knowledge on infectious disease preventive behavior, risk perception, and responsibility for the ripple effects of infection. The ripple effect of infection implies that an individual is infected with an infectious disease and then infects another person, with the result that the infection spreads further, and various effects are exerted on society. The more strongly an individual has the expectation of responsibility for the ripple effect, the more likely the individual will take preventive action. Similarly, the amount of the knowledge has a promotive effect on preventive behavior, while risk perception is expected to have a weaker influence. Based on the above predictions, a web-based survey was conducted during the period of the spread of COVID-19. Data obtained from 1238 people were analyzed by classifying them into two regions according to the time when the state of emergency was issued. The results indicated the main effect of knowledge and sense of responsibility was significantly positive influence on preventive behavior regardless of the region. In addition, the interaction between knowledge and sense of responsibility was significant; the effect of sense of responsibility became stronger when knowledge was low. The importance of knowledge and sense of responsibility for infectious disease prevention behavior is discussed.
