We also whether they differed much believed theories. Those (or receive) COVID scored significantly higher forms lower theory beliefs. logistic regression suggested politicians, organizations, as well belief were significant predictors, even after accounting for key demographic characteristics.

Abstract Background There are clear inequalities in COVID − 19 vaccination rates amongst marginalised groups, with lower for some minoritised ethnic and religious younger people, those living more deprived areas, socio-economic status. Existing research focuses on psychological factors that influence vaccine uptake does not explore broader social historical contexts. Understanding COVID-19 requires a critical examination of the drivers of, barriers to, vaccination. Methods We present findings from co-designed qualitative study undertaken during pandemic. Focus groups interviews were used to examine context underpinning responses Greater Manchester, particularly focussing experiences marginalisation. Thematic framework analysis was analyse data. Results found public’s programme intertwined longstanding history institutional distrust disenfranchisement, resulting marginalisation inequalities. This exacerbated further by disproportionate impacts pandemic existing health conditions. Conclusions Histories structural experienced invoked feelings suspicion scepticism at motivations agencies behind rollout. highlights need contextualised attitudes vaccines, considering pre-existing inequalities, which may be especially relevant conceptualising public programme. Finally, our shows important ways (dis)trust can impact policies. recommend this should incorporated into future crises.

We study the problem of an agent continuously faced with decision placing or not trust in institution. The makes use Bayesian learning order to estimate institution's true trustworthiness and place based on myopic rationality. Using elements from random walk theory, we explicitly derive probability that such ceases at some point relationship, as well expected time spent conditioned their discontinuation thereof. then continue by modeling two truster agents, each own relationship consider natural models communication between them. In first ("observable rewards") agents disclose experiences institution one another, while second actions") merely witness actions neighbor, i.e. trust.
