This study tested the idea that faith in intuition (people's reliance on their intuition when making judgments or decisions) is negatively associated with vaccination attitudes in the U.S. populace. Intuition is an implicit, affective information processing mode based on prior experiences. U.S. citizens have few threatening experiences with vaccines because vaccination coverage for common vaccine-preventable diseases is high in the United States. Experiences with vaccination-side effects, however, are more prevalent. This is likely to shape an intuition that favors refusal over vaccination. Results of multiple regression analyses support this supposition. With increasing faith in intuition, people's vaccination attitudes become less favorable.
本研究检验了这样一种观点，即对直觉的信念（人们在做出判断或决策时依赖直觉）与美国民众的疫苗接种态度呈负相关。直觉是一种基于先前经验的内隐情感信息处理模式。美国公民很少有与疫苗相关的威胁性经历，因为美国普遍可预防疾病的疫苗接种覆盖率很高。然而，与疫苗副作用相关的经历更为普遍。这很可能形成一种反对接种疫苗、支持拒绝接种疫苗的直觉。多项回归分析的结果支持了这一假设。随着对直觉的信任度增加，人们的疫苗接种态度变得不那么有利。
