A wide range of survey studies have explored vaccination hesitancy/resistance during the COVID-19 pandemic and provided evidence that this can be explained by several individual variables from the ideological, clinical, and socio-affective domain. However, evidence about which individual variables predict vaccine hesitancy in the post-pandemic state of COVID-19 is meager. We administered a battery of questionnaires to a group of 120 Italian participants with high and low scores on the adult vaccine hesitancy scale (aVHS) to investigate the predictive role of ideological (i.e. political orientation), clinical (i.e. anxiety, interoceptive accuracy), and socio-affective (i.e. alexithymia, disgust sensitivity/propensity, empathy) variables on vaccine hesitancy/resistance. This study provides evidence that lower interoceptive awareness and cognitive empathy are predictors of a greater hesitancy to get vaccinated in the post-pandemic COVID-19 state.
大量的调查研究探讨了 COVID-19 大流行期间的疫苗犹豫/抵制现象，并提供了证据表明，这可以用意识形态、临床和社会情感领域的几个个体变量来解释。然而，关于哪些个体变量可以预测 COVID-19 大流行后疫苗犹豫状态的证据很少。我们对一组 120 名意大利参与者进行了一系列问卷测试，这些参与者在成人疫苗犹豫量表（aVHS）上的得分较高或较低，以调查意识形态（即政治取向）、临床（即焦虑、内脏感知准确性）和社会情感（即述情障碍、厌恶敏感性/倾向、同理心）变量对疫苗犹豫/抵制的预测作用。这项研究提供了证据表明，较低的内脏感知意识和认知同理心是预测大流行后 COVID-19 状态下更大疫苗犹豫的因素。
