COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs have a powerful detrimental influence on COVID-19 vaccine perceptions and behaviors. We investigate an expanded range of outcomes for COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs, and we test which vaccine hesitancy dimensions mediate these relations. Our results show that COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs relate to COVID-19 vaccination willingness and receipt, flu vaccination willingness and receipt, as well as vaccine word-of-mouth. Many of these relations are mediated by vaccine hesitancy dimensions that represent perceptions that vaccines pose health risks as well as perceptions that vaccines are not needed because the respondent is healthy. Our discussion identifies directions for future research.
新冠病毒相关阴谋论信念对新冠病毒疫苗的认知和行为有着深远的负面影响。我们探讨了一系列与新冠病毒相关阴谋论信念相关的结果,并检验了哪些疫苗犹豫维度在这些关系中起中介作用。我们的研究结果表明,新冠病毒相关阴谋论信念与新冠病毒疫苗接种意愿和接种率、流感疫苗接种意愿和接种率以及疫苗口碑有关。这些关系中的许多都受到疫苗犹豫维度的中介作用的影响,这些维度反映了人们认为疫苗会带来健康风险,以及认为自己健康就不需要接种疫苗的观念。我们的讨论确定了未来研究的方向。
