Vaccination is the most cost-effective way to maintain population health. However, it can only be effective if widespread acceptance is held. The efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines depends on their favor. When countries start to vaccinate their citizens, there is a certain level of skepticism about the effectiveness of the vaccines. The hesitancy study on vaccines has gained momentum following the pandemic. However, few studies have examined the link between the psychological and sociodemographic factors influencing the fit. This paper proposes integrating the concepts of the information systems success and stimulus-organism-response into a cognitive fit theory framework to explore the integration of psychological and sociodemographic factors in the receivers' reactions ( = 1510). This study analyses the factors that influence the hesitancy of vaccines and the public's refusal in Asia and Europe. Receivers' reactions were assessed to various stimuli and we explored the link between psychological and sociodemographic elements and the concept of fit. Two surveys were conducted following the scale development of Mackenzie. The first was to develop the fit scale, while the second was to validate the fit scale. The results of the second survey were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that the scale's fit development is valid and reliable. The quality of the vaccine information, the psychological characteristics of the vaccine system, and vaccine receivers' satisfaction are also beneficial factors for emotional and cognitive fit. Maintaining the vaccines' quality and efficiency can help improve the fit between sociodemographic and psychological characteristics. It can also enhance receivers' satisfaction and encourage continued vaccine administration. This study is regarded as one of the first to examine and develop an emotional and cognitive fit scale for practitioners and researchers.
疫苗接种是维护群体健康最具成本效益的方式。然而，只有在广泛接受的情况下它才会有效。新冠疫苗的效力取决于其受欢迎程度。当各国开始为公民接种疫苗时，人们对疫苗的有效性存在一定程度的怀疑。自疫情爆发以来，关于疫苗接种犹豫的研究势头渐强。然而，很少有研究探讨影响适配性的心理因素和社会人口因素之间的联系。本文建议将信息系统成功的概念和刺激-机体-反应整合到认知适配理论框架中，以探讨心理因素和社会人口因素在接受者反应中的整合情况（n = 1510）。本研究分析了影响亚洲和欧洲疫苗接种犹豫及公众拒绝接种的因素。评估了接受者对各种刺激的反应，并探讨了心理和社会人口因素与适配概念之间的联系。在麦肯齐量表开发之后进行了两项调查。第一项是开发适配量表，第二项是验证适配量表。使用结构方程模型分析了第二项调查的结果。结果表明该量表的适配性开发是有效且可靠的。疫苗信息的质量、疫苗系统的心理特征以及疫苗接受者的满意度也是情感和认知适配的有益因素。保持疫苗的质量和效力有助于改善社会人口特征与心理特征之间的适配性。这还可以提高接受者的满意度并鼓励持续接种疫苗。本研究被认为是最早为从业者和研究人员检验和开发情感与认知适配量表的研究之一。
