This study examined the role of individual differences in horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism, trust and worries, and concerns about COVID-19 in predicting the attitudes toward compliance of health advice and psychological responses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chinese university students (=384, 324 female) completed measures of individualism and collectivism, trust, attitudes toward compliance, and psychological responses to the pandemic. Results showed that not only vertical collectivist orientation but also horizontal individualist orientation significantly predicted higher willingness to comply, whereas vertical individualist orientation significantly predicted lower willingness to comply. Vertical individualist and vertical collectivist orientations predicted higher psychological response in terms of distress, anxiety, and depression, while horizontal collectivistic orientation significantly predicted less psychological problems. Implications of the effect of individual-level cultural orientations on attitudes toward public health compliance and psychological well-being during global health crises are discussed.
本研究考察了水平和垂直个人主义与集体主义、信任和担忧以及对新冠疫情的关注等个体差异在预测新冠疫情期间对遵守健康建议的态度和心理反应方面所起的作用。中国大学生（共384人，其中324名女性）完成了个人主义和集体主义、信任、对遵守的态度以及对疫情的心理反应的测量。结果表明，不仅垂直集体主义取向，而且水平个人主义取向都显著预测了更高的遵守意愿，而垂直个人主义取向则显著预测了较低的遵守意愿。垂直个人主义和垂直集体主义取向在痛苦、焦虑和抑郁方面预测了更高的心理反应，而水平集体主义取向则显著预测了较少的心理问题。本文讨论了个体层面文化取向对全球健康危机期间公共卫生遵守态度和心理健康的影响。
