COVID-19疫情影响全球。西班牙是全球第五、欧洲第三，确诊病例数最多。西班牙公民的态度对控制这一流行病很重要。这项研究评估了西班牙人对COVID-19的态度。一个（n = 64）在马德里的购物中心进行，另一个（n = 640）在线。这两项研究的结果都表明，西班牙女性对COVID-19的态度比男性“更负责任”。年轻人（18-25岁）在遵守安全措施和认为需要呆在家里方面的得分低于老年人。在研究1中，依从性水平，知道有人处于危险之中，知道有人感染预测31.2%的方差在感知需要呆在家里。在研究2中，个人的关注，遵守的水平，保持距离，与他人，和感知的社会报警预测28.5%的方差在感知需要呆在家里。无论年龄和/或性别，西班牙人对COVID-19的个人担忧都低于他们对COVID-19的社会担忧。这些结果可能有助于政策制定者考虑公众态度，这可能在控制当前以及可能的第二波COVID-19中发挥重要作用。
The COVID-19 pandemic affects the whole world. Spain is 5th in the world and 3rd in Europe with the largest number of diagnosed cases. Spanish citizens' attitudes are important in controlling the pandemic. This research assessed attitudes of Spaniards toward COVID-19 in two studies. One (n = 64) was conducted in a shopping centre in Madrid and another (n = 640) online. The results of both studies suggest that women in Spain have a 'more responsible' attitude toward the COVID-19 than men. Young adults (18-25 years) scored lower on compliance with safety measures and perceived need to stay home than older adults. In Study 1, level of compliance, knowing someone at risk, and knowing someone infected predicted 31.2% of the variance in the perceived need to stay home. In Study 2, personal concern, level of compliance, keeping distance from others, and perceived social alarm predicted 28.5% of the variance in perceived need to stay home. Regardless of age and/or gender, Spanish people's personal concern about COVID-19 was less than their perceived social alarm about it. These results might help policy makers in considering public attitudes which could play an important role in controlling the current, and possibly a second, wave of COVID-19.
