“…Parental reaction indicators include communication, belief (risk perception and trust), involvement (policy support and government priority judgement) and behavioral intention (vaccination when available and on regular basis). The survey questions were adopted or revised versions of questions from relevant studies [ 26 , 35 – 37 , 39 , 45 , 71 – 73 ].…”

“…Similar to a climate change labelling effects research [ 73 ], we measured the question of involvement. Participants were asked, ‘Do you agree that the issue of an adverse event with COVID-19 vaccine is an important consideration for your decision regarding whether support COVID-19 vaccination policies for children?’ (scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 ‘strongly disagree’ to 5 ‘strongly agree’).…”

As a major concern shared by parents globally, COVID-19 vaccine safety is typically being messaged to the public in a negative frame in many countries. However, whether the COVID-19 vaccine safety framing have an effect on parents when vaccinating their children is unclear. Here we implement an online survey with a convenience sample of 3,861 parents living in mainland China, all over 18 years old and with at least one child under 18. The parents were randomly assigned to receive information about COVID-19 vaccine safety in either a negative frame (incidence of side effects) or a positive frame (the inverse incidence of side effects), to compare parental reactions to a range of questions about communication, risk perception, trust, involvement and behavioral intention. We found that parents were more likely to regard vaccine safety as relevant to policy support and as a higher priority for government when receiving positively framed information (p = 0.002). For some specific subgroups, parents in positive framing group showed lower risk perception and higher trust (p<0.05). This suggests that positive framing of COVID-19 vaccine safety messages show more effective performance than negative framing in terms of involvement, as well as trust and risk perception in specific subgroups, which may lead to a reflection on whether to adjust the current widespread use of negative framing. Our findings inform how governments and health care workers strategically choose the framing design of COVID-19 vaccine safety information, and have important implications for promoting COVID-19 vaccination in children in the future.

“…Taiwan falls somewhat in the middle in terms of being a masculine or feminine society, indicating shifts in attitudes toward gender ideologies despite the fact that Confucian values, which have defined Taiwanese culture, support traditional gender divisions (Wu, 2006; Yu and Miller, 2003). In addition, the Taiwanese public is increasingly aware of climate change (Hung and Bayrak, 2020), and climate change-related information has been effectively transmitted through the education system (Yu et al , 2020). Therefore, in the present study, most respondents were assumed to have some level of awareness and knowledge of climate change.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between gender ideologies and the motivation to mitigate climate change among a sample (N = 663) representative of the Taiwanese population, taking into account the different aspects of gender ideology measures and the multidimensionality of gender ideologies. Design/methodology/approach A landline-based telephone survey in Taiwan was used to collect research data. Pearson correlations were used to determine the associations between gender ideologies and motivation to mitigate climate change, and multiple regression analysis was performed to determine whether gender ideology measures were predictors for motivation to mitigate climate change. Findings The results suggested that the relationships between gender ideologies and mitigation motivation are complex, and that both traditional and egalitarian views of gender ideologies, measured using different scales, are positively associated with motivation. The dynamics of relationships among subgroups divided by gender and marital status need to be considered, as the relationships between gender ideologies and motivation are salient for unmarried individuals as well as married females. Research limitations/implications The findings support the premise that gender ideologies play an essential and complex role in individual climate change mitigation behaviors. Originality/value This is the first study that systematically examined the relationships between gender ideologies and motivation to mitigate climate change.

“…In summary, applying the VBN theory on Taiwanese in order to understand their PEB is an appropriate model, as Taiwanese society emphasizes cultural values and beliefs. However, limited studies in the literature [5] that applied the VBN theory on general Taiwanese were performed more than a decade ago and did not incorporate the highly collective feature of Taiwanese communities [45,46]. The emphasis of this study is to formulate a more parsimonious model of the VBN theory by streamlining some existing variables and integrating social norms in order to establish the constructs shaping the PEB of contemporary Taiwanese.…”

A value–belief–norm (VBN) model for understanding the pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) of Taiwanese was developed. This formulated VBN model included personal values, openness to change, awareness of consequences, personal norms, social norms, and PEB. Ecological world view and ascription of responsibility were excluded to develop a tighter model. A total of 1079 completed questionnaires were collected and structural equation modelling was utilized, where standard estimates and coefficients of determination validated the formulated VBN model’s effectiveness. Each construct served its role as the mediator between its distal variable and outcome variable, with a substantial level of predictive accuracy, and 74.3% of the variance in PEB was accounted for. Further findings found that mature individuals had a stronger tendency towards awareness of consequences due to personal values; the young had a stronger tendency towards personal norms due to awareness of consequences; men had a stronger tendency towards personal norms due to awareness of consequences; and women had a weaker tendency due to a greater emphasis on altruism. Future interventions, such as sharing of personal pro-environmental lifestyles verbally or through social media, periodically decluttering personal items and maintaining a minimalist lifestyle, where these personal norms are in line with collective social norms, could help to strengthen PEB.
