As the SARS-CoV-2 virus swept the world in late 2019, it has brought widespread fear, some suspicion, and degrees of stigma. In the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemics, a series of collective irrationalities such as panic buying, protest marches against vaccines, and pandemic stigma occurred. This phenomenon is inseparable from the spread of rumors about the epidemic. The advent of social media has radically changed the way we consume information and form opinions and made a flood of digital misinformation becoming ubiquitous. The diffusion of false rumors affects the public's perception of reality and disrupts the prevention of the epidemic. This paper analyzes the COVID-19 collective irrationalities from epidemic psychology to provide a new reference view for overcoming psychological problems related to COVID-19.
2019年末，严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）席卷全球，带来了广泛的恐惧、一些猜疑以及不同程度的污名化。在新冠疫情的阴影下，出现了一系列集体非理性行为，如抢购、反对疫苗的抗议游行以及疫情污名化。这种现象与疫情谣言的传播密不可分。社交媒体的出现从根本上改变了我们获取信息和形成观点的方式，使得大量数字错误信息随处可见。虚假谣言的传播影响了公众对现实的认知，扰乱了疫情防控工作。本文从疫情心理学角度分析新冠疫情集体非理性行为，为克服与新冠疫情相关的心理问题提供新的参考视角。
