The study investigated antecedents of attitudes towards vaccines against COVID-19 and vaccination behaviour, and sought to identify areas where interventions aimed at increasing vaccination rates would be most effective. A sample of 500 Slovaks (250 women) responded to questions concerning their socio-demographic and personality characteristics, collectivism and individualism, consciousness of future consequences, and emotional responses to both vaccination and the pandemic. The study indicates that helplessness related to the vaccine efficacy evaluation and fear of its potential risks are the strongest antecedents of vaccination behaviour and anti-vaccination attitudes. Jointly with the fear of the COVID-19, they explained over 26% and 33% of variance in behaviour and attitudes, respectively. The results indicate that the efficiency of appeals to solidarity may be limited when fear and helplessness are widespread as they seem to strongly outweigh individuals' outward motivations to get vaccinated.
本研究调查了人们对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度和接种行为的影响因素，并试图确定最有效的干预措施领域，以提高疫苗接种率。该研究共选取了 500 名斯洛伐克人（250 名女性）作为样本，调查他们的社会人口学和人格特征、集体主义和个人主义、对未来后果的意识，以及对疫苗接种和大流行的情绪反应。研究表明，对疫苗效力评估的无助感和对其潜在风险的恐惧是接种行为和反疫苗态度的最强影响因素。与对 COVID-19 的恐惧一起，它们分别解释了行为和态度变异的 26%和 33%。研究结果表明，当恐惧和无助感普遍存在时，呼吁团结的效率可能会受到限制，因为它们似乎大大超过了个人接种疫苗的外在动机。
