Coronavirus disease 2019 dramatically changed people's behavior because of the need to adhere to infection prevention and to overcome general adversity resulting from the implementation of infection prevention measures. However, coping behavior has not been fully distinguished from risk perception, and a comprehensive picture of demographic, risk-perception, and psychobehavioral factors that influence the major coping-behavior factors remain to be elucidated. In this study, we recruited 2,885 Japanese participants. Major coping-behavior and risk-perception factors were identified via exploratory factor analysis of 50 candidate items. Then, we conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis to investigate factors associated with each coping-behavior factor. We identified four types of coping behavior [CB1 (mask-wearing), CB2 (information-seeking), CB3 (resistance to social stagnation), and CB4 (infection-prevention)] and three risk-perception factors [RP1 (shortages of daily necessities), RP2 (medical concerns), and RP3 (socioeconomic concerns)]. CB1 was positively associated with female sex and etiquette. CB2 was positively related to RP1 and RP3. CB3 was positively related to RP1 and leadership, and negatively associated with etiquette. CB4 was positively associated with female sex, etiquette, and active well-being. This parsimonious model may help to elucidate essential social dynamics and provide a theoretical framework for coping behavior during a pandemic.
2019年冠状病毒病极大地改变了人们的行为，这是因为需要坚持感染预防并克服因实施感染预防措施而带来的普遍困境。然而，应对行为尚未与风险认知完全区分开来，影响主要应对行为因素的人口统计学、风险认知和心理行为因素的全貌仍有待阐明。在本研究中，我们招募了2885名日本参与者。通过对50个候选项目进行探索性因素分析，确定了主要的应对行为和风险认知因素。然后，我们进行了分层多元回归分析，以研究与每个应对行为因素相关的因素。我们确定了四种应对行为类型[CB1（戴口罩）、CB2（寻求信息）、CB3（抵制社会停滞）和CB4（预防感染）]以及三种风险认知因素[RP1（日常生活用品短缺）、RP2（医疗担忧）和RP3（社会经济担忧）]。CB1与女性性别和礼仪呈正相关。CB2与RP1和RP3呈正相关。CB3与RP1和领导力呈正相关，与礼仪呈负相关。CB4与女性性别、礼仪和积极幸福感呈正相关。这个简约模型可能有助于阐明基本的社会动态，并为大流行期间的应对行为提供一个理论框架。
