通过一个大的国际样本(n=8317)，本研究考察了关于新冠肺炎的哪些信念和态度预示着1)遵循政府建议，2)采取健康预防措施(包括戴口罩、社交距离、洗手和呆在家里)，以及3)鼓励他人采取健康预防措施。这些结果证明了相信采取健康预防措施将有效避免新冠肺炎并总体上将一个人的健康放在首位的重要性。在控制了人口统计学和个性变量后，这些信念仍然是健康行为的重要预测因素。相比之下，我们发现，认为自己容易受到新冠肺炎攻击、感受到感染新冠肺炎的严重性以及对政府的信任相对来说并不重要。我们还发现，女性比男性更有可能从事这些健康行为，但年龄通常与自愿遵守行为无关。这些发现可能为新冠肺炎期间及以后的行为干预提供了途径和死胡同。
With a large international sample (n=8317), the present study examined which beliefs and attitudes about COVID-19 predict 1) following government recommendations, 2) taking health precautions (including mask wearing, social distancing, handwashing, and staying at home), and 3) encouraging others to take health precautions. The results demonstrate the importance of believing that taking health precautions will be effective for avoiding COVID-19 and generally prioritizing one's health. These beliefs continued to be important predictors of health behaviors after controlling for demographic and personality variables. In contrast, we found that perceiving oneself as vulnerable to COVID-19, the perceived severity of catching COVID-19, and trust in government were of relatively little importance. We also found that women were somewhat more likely to engage in these health behaviors than men, but that age was generally unrelated to voluntary compliance behaviors. These findings may suggest avenues and dead ends for behavioral interventions during COVID-19 and beyond.
