We investigated how perceived risk and protective behaviors changed as the coronavirus epidemic progressed. A longitudinal sample of 538 people responded to a COVID-19 perception questionnaire during outbreak post-epidemic periods. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), we examined mean level change selected constructs differences in their relationships. tested pathway which affective attitude, informed by experience, shaped perceptions behaviors. The model also postulated social cultural worldviews, like individualism hierarchy, predicted through norms. Latent difference analyses revealed decrease distancing an increase hygiene-cleanliness, corresponding reduction norms rise direct indirect while attitude remained substantially stable. Cross-sectional path showed that perception, primarily promoted behavior consistency regardless contingencies. Instead, analytic were linked only outbreak. Although dropped over time, more steeply than perceptions. Our findings supported distinction between deliberative processes reinforcing view reactions are needed deploy processes. study supports claim essential understanding worldview-related variability.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the confinement experience have significantly affected relationship between young adults their parents. present study focuses on design validation of Perceived Young Adult Lockdown Parental Relationship Scale (PYALPRS), a measure assessing two dimensions child–parent associated with lockdown period: Oppression-Conflict Closeness-Support. After phase construct definition item purification, 100 Italian (M = 24; SD 3.9) were recruited to explore factor structure scale. Then, sample 259 (aged 18–35; M 3.8) was used demonstrate psychometric validity results our confirmatory analysis, which resulted in high goodness fit scores, support identifiable factors reflecting theory-based constructs PYALPRS. Moreover, internal consistency convergent divergent analyses show that PYALPRS can be considered reliable valid instrument. ANOVA demonstrated there significant differences being cohabitant or single as well different perceptions home space during dimension, while larger perception Closeness-Support dimension.

Affective empathy predicts self-isolation behaviour acceptance during coronavirus risk exposure

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 11(1)

Опубликована: Май 12, 2021

Abstract Health risk exposure during the global COVID-19 pandemic has required people to adopt self-isolation. Public authorities have therefore had difficult task of sustaining such protective but stressful behaviour. Evidence shows that besides egoistic drives, motivation for self-isolation behaviour could be altruistic. However, type and role prosocial in current is underestimated its interaction with psychological distress largely unknown. Here we show affective empathy most vulnerable predicts acceptance lockdown measures. In two retrospective studies, one a general population positive patients, found (1) along health exposure, predictor measures (2) social covariates no significant impact. Our results support need focus on altruistic behaviours while informing public instead fear-inducing messages.

The COVID-19 vaccine appears to be a crucial requirement fight the pandemic. However, part of population possesses negative attitudes towards vaccine. spread conspiracy theories and contradictory information about pandemic have altered population's perception risk. risk-perception vaccine's side effects may affected by individual differences. complex relationship between differences is relevant when people make decisions based on ambiguous constantly changing information, as in early phases Italian vaccination campaign. present study aimed at measuring effect associated with context characterized ambiguity. An online survey was conducted classify sample pro-vaccine into cognitive/behavioral style groups. Furthermore, changes after inconsistent communications regarding were compared results showed that "analytical" individuals did not change their probability but changed severity effects; "open" "polarized" neither nor effects, showing different kind processing, which could interfere an informed decision-making process.
