Systems, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(4), P. 181 - 181

Published: March 31, 2023

Complex mechanisms exist between public risk perception, emotions, and coping behaviors during health emergencies. To unravel the relationship these three phenomena, a meta-analytic approach was employed in this study. Using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0, 81 papers were analyzed after selection. The results of meta-analysis showed that (1) perception (perceived severity, perceived susceptibility) negative emotions (especially fear) are both correlated with behaviors; (2) is strongly fear moderately anxiety; (3) anxiety predicts adoption behaviors. existing research provided an empirical basis for implementing effective behavior interventions implied management decisionmakers need to consider reasonable through multiple channels maintain public’s within appropriate levels. Finally, future directions suggested.

Abstract In this contribution to the longstanding risk theory debate on optimal self‐protection, we aim enrich microeconomic modeling of in wake Ehrlich and Becker (1972), by exploring representation perception at core Health Belief Model (HBM), a conceptual framework extremely influential Public studies (Janz Becker, 1984). our two‐period model, highlight crucial role individual decision adopt preventive behavior toward generic health risk. We discuss prevention effort engaged an agent displaying either imperfect knowledge susceptibility (probability occurrence) or severity (magnitude loss) hazard, facing uncertainty these components. assess impact aversion prudence level critical issue insurance economic literature, yet often overlooked HBM studies. Our results pave way for design efficient information instruments improve when perceptions are biased.

Existing evidence regarding the role of perceived susceptibility in shaping preventative health behavior is mixed Health Belief Model (HBM). To clarify whether and under which conditions affects behavior, this study aims to better understand how situational environmental factors affect susceptibility, thereby decisions, mediation relationship conditioned by other HBM cognitions, namely benefits, severity. Therefore, we employed a scenario-based experiment large, representative sample German population (N = 4802) April 2022. Respondents were presented with fictional invitation social gathering, mimicked post messenger group chat. The included five experimentally manipulated scenarios: no measures implemented, COVID-19 test required; either testing negative, being vaccinated, or recovered from required (known as 3G context); reduced number attendees; gathering occurred outside. Moreover, contract at severity benefits (independent scenario) measured. We found that mediates between each implemented measure willingness attend gathering. effect on indirect attendance via moderated benefits. However, there lack robust moderates attendance. In summary, our provides individuals perceive adapt their perceptions preventive given situation, speaks dynamic nature cognition susceptibility. findings suggest promising avenue forward for examine cognitions environment together shape behavior.
