Do Social Norms Influence Young People's Willingness to Take the COVID-19 Vaccine?

Samantha Sinclair et al.

Summary: This study examined whether communicating descriptive social norms is an effective way to influence young people's intentions and reduce vaccine hesitancy. The results showed weak support for the hypothesis that conveying strong norms leads to reduced hesitancy and stronger intentions. Furthermore, norms did not have significantly different effects compared to standard vaccine information. There was also no support for the hypothesis that young people are more influenced by norms when the reference group consists of other young individuals.

Call them COVIDiots: Exploring the effects of aggressive communication style and psychological distance in the communication of COVID-19

Haoran Chu et al.

Summary: This study found that aggressive communication can lead to a heightened violation of expected social norms regarding communication styles, but the interpretation of this violation varies depending on the individual's perceived distance to the communicator. Close distance emphasizes the urgency and severity of COVID-19 risks conveyed with aggression, while far distance perception amplifies aggression's negative influence on writer likeability.

Elise Paul et al.

Summary: This study identified predictors of negative attitudes towards vaccines and unwillingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine among UK adults, with low-income groups, those who did not receive a flu vaccine last year, poor adherence to COVID-19 guidelines, female gender, and living with children being the most significant predictors of vaccine refusal.
