The worldwide effort to recover from the COVID-19 crisis is now at its pinnacle with the putative vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. To reach herd immunity, it has become an urgent global need to understand the emotional factors that drive people's choice to get vaccinated. Therefore, this exploratory study examined emotional motivations as predictors of the decision to receive the vaccine. The sample ( = 627) included adult (18+) participants in Israel who were recruited by a snowball sampling. The participants filled out an online survey when the vaccines have become widely available in Israel. Within the entire sample, as well as among people who did not receive the vaccine yet, hope was the only factor that was associated with their willingness to be vaccinated; higher levels of hope were related to willingness to be vaccinated. The results of the study indicate that hope is an important factor related to motivation to receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
全球从 COVID-19 危机中复苏的努力现在达到了顶峰,有了针对 SARS-CoV-2 的假定疫苗。为了达到群体免疫,了解推动人们选择接种疫苗的情绪因素已成为全球的当务之急。因此,这项探索性研究考察了情绪动机作为接种疫苗决定的预测因素。该样本(n=627)包括以色列的成年(18 岁及以上)参与者,他们是通过滚雪球抽样招募的。当疫苗在以色列广泛可用时,参与者填写了在线调查。在整个样本中,以及在尚未接种疫苗的人群中,希望是唯一与他们接种疫苗意愿相关的因素;较高的希望水平与接种疫苗的意愿相关。研究结果表明,希望是与接种 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗的动机相关的重要因素。
