Overview

International survey demonstrates that perceived precaution efficacy predicts COVID-19 protective behaviors across global adults, suggesting public health campaigns should highlight action...

Key Points

  • To identify which specific COVID-19 attitudes and beliefs predict adherence to government guidance, personal health precautions, and the encouragement of precautions in others.
  • Assessed health beliefs, demographic factors, and personality traits using an international cross-sectional survey sample (n = 8317).
  • Controlled for demographic variables and personality traits to measure the independent predictive power of cognitive beliefs on compliance behaviors.
  • Believing that health precautions are effective and prioritizing one's own health are the strongest predictors of voluntary compliance and encouraging others to comply.
  • Perceptions of personal vulnerability, perceived severity of illness, and institutional trust in government demonstrate minimal predictive association with protective health behaviors.
  • Women report modestly higher rates of compliance than men, while age shows no general relationship with adherence to voluntary health precautions.
