We propose a Pandemic Risk Perception Scale. Our scale comprises two constructs, Dread Risk and Personal Exposure, divided into five dimensions: Infection Risk, Emotional Health Risk, Health System Risk,Financial Risk, and Alimentary Risk. Using multidimensional item response theory, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling on two samples of respondents, our results show that Alimentary Risk, Health System Risk, and Emotional Health Risk are the main dimensions of risk perception for the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Infection Risk has a minor impact on the pandemic's risk perception, suggesting the presence of different dynamics between personal and general risk perceptions for the COVID-19 pandemic.
我们提出了一种大流行病风险感知量表。我们的量表由两个结构组成，即恐惧风险和个人暴露，分为五个维度：感染风险、情绪健康风险、卫生系统风险、财务风险和饮食风险。通过对两个受访者样本的多维项目反应理论、验证性因素分析和结构方程建模，我们的结果表明，饮食风险、卫生系统风险和情绪健康风险是 COVID-19 大流行病风险感知的主要维度。此外，感染风险对大流行病的风险感知影响较小，这表明 COVID-19 大流行病的个人和一般风险感知之间存在不同的动态。
