The interrelatedness of social-structural aspects and psychological features with vaccination intention provides the context to explore personal psychological features related to vaccination. Specifically, we focused on general decision making and vaccine-related dispositions, and their contribution to the intention to vaccinate, within post-pandemic circumstances, after the imposed possibility of choosing a vaccine brand. Our study aimed to map the function (promotive, protective, risk, vulnerability) of a set of personal psychological aspects in the intention to vaccinate among people holding different social roles regarding the vaccination. We surveyed three samples of people: healthcare providers (HPs), parents, and laypeople, within the post-pandemic context. Negative vaccine attitudes lower intention to vaccinate in all regression models (all βs ranging from -0.128 to -0.983, all s < 0.01). The main results indicate that, regardless of the sample/social role, there is a shared attitudinal core for positive vaccination intention. This core consists of [high] trust in large corporations, government, and healthcare systems, as well as perceived consensus on vaccine safety/efficacy and experience of freedom (protective factors), and [low] vaccination conspiracy beliefs, trust in social media, and choice overload (risk and vulnerability factors, respectively). There are no common promotive factors of intention to vaccinate: for parents, perceived consensus on vaccines, and trust in corporations and the healthcare system, play such roles; for HPs, the experience of freedom is obtained as a unique promotive factor. In contrast, for laypeople, no unique promotive factors were found. Our findings provide insights into the function of psychological factors of vaccination intention across different social roles, particularly healthcare providers, parents, and laypeople, and emphasize the need for tailored immunization interventions in the post-pandemic landscape.
社会结构方面和心理特征与疫苗接种意愿的相互关联性为探索与疫苗接种相关的个人心理特征提供了背景。具体而言，在疫情后，在有选择疫苗品牌可能性的情况下，我们聚焦于一般决策制定和与疫苗相关的倾向，以及它们对疫苗接种意愿的影响。我们的研究旨在描绘一系列个人心理方面在不同社会角色人群的疫苗接种意愿中的作用（促进、保护、风险、易感性）。我们在疫情后背景下对三类人群进行了调查：医疗保健提供者（HPs）、家长和普通民众。在所有回归模型中，负面疫苗态度都会降低疫苗接种意愿（所有β值范围从 -0.128 到 -0.983，所有p值 < 0.01）。主要结果表明，无论样本/社会角色如何，积极疫苗接种意愿都有一个共同的态度核心。这个核心包括对大公司、政府和医疗保健系统的[高度]信任，以及对疫苗安全性/有效性的感知共识和自由体验（保护因素），以及[低]疫苗接种阴谋论信念、对社交媒体的信任和选择过载（分别为风险和易感性因素）。不存在疫苗接种意愿的共同促进因素：对于家长来说，对疫苗的感知共识以及对公司和医疗保健系统的信任起到这样的作用；对于医疗保健提供者来说，自由体验是唯一的促进因素。相比之下，对于普通民众，未发现独特的促进因素。我们的研究结果为不同社会角色（特别是医疗保健提供者、家长和普通民众）的疫苗接种意愿心理因素的作用提供了见解，并强调了在疫情后环境中进行针对性免疫干预的必要性。
