Behavioral and psychosocial factors associated with COVID-19 skepticism in the United States

Carl A. Latkin et al.

Summary: COVID-19 skepticism is associated with reduced engagement in COVID-19 prevention behaviors, with younger age, better health, and more politically conservative individuals more likely to endorse skepticism. Those with higher levels of skepticism are less likely to believe people close to them would die from COVID-19 and engage in preventive behaviors, and are more likely to believe conspiracy theories about China spreading the virus purposefully.

Nikola Erceg et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the psychological determinants of COVID-19 responsible behavior. The results showed that individuals who had higher levels of worry and lower endorsement of unfounded beliefs about COVID-19 were more likely to engage in responsible behavior.

Modeling compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines: the critical role of trust in science

Nejc Plohl et al.

Summary: The study developed a multivariate model to identify individual characteristics that predict compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, finding that COVID-19 risk perception and trust in science directly predict compliance, while other factors like political conservatism and conspiracy ideation influence compliance through the mediating role of trust in science. The model displayed acceptable fit and emphasizes the importance of trust in science in explaining compliance behavior.

Coronavirus risk perception and compliance with social distancing measures in a sample of young adults: Evidence from Switzerland

Axel Franzen et al.

Summary: A study on young adults in Switzerland during the first lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic found that although they perceived themselves to be at low personal risk, they still supported and complied with the preventive measures. Individuals with relatives belonging to the high-risk group were more likely to adhere to the safety measures. This suggests that support for preventive measures plays a crucial role in promoting cooperation to prevent the spread of the virus.

Irrational beliefs differentially predict adherence to guidelines and pseudoscientific practices during the COVID-19 pandemic

Predrag Teovanovic et al.

Summary: This study found that irrational beliefs, such as believing in conspiracy theories, overestimating knowledge, cognitive biases, and cognitive intuition, can predict adherence to COVID-19 guidelines and susceptibility to misinformation. Conspiracy beliefs were found to be the most detrimental, leading to lower adherence to guidelines and a higher likelihood of engaging in pseudoscientific practices.

Robert Hornik et al.

Summary: The study found that belief in COVID-19-related misinformation is less relevant to protective behaviors, while beliefs about the consequences of these behaviors are important predictors.
