“…However, among individuals with lower tolerance for risk and ambiguity, perceptions of uncertainty about COVID-19 were associated with lower trust in COVID-19 information. Shook et al ( 2023 ) report retrospective and prospective findings that individuals with higher levels of disgust proneness are more likely to receive a seasonal flu vaccine. Understanding which individuals are more likely to vaccinate and under what combination of beliefs is the likelihood of vaccination greater has important implications for communication about disease prevention and identifying for whom certain intervention approaches might be most effective.…”

The World Health Organization has designated vaccine hesitancy and vaccine confidence among the most pressing issues in global health. The COVID-19 pandemic has made vaccine hesitancy and vaccine confidence particularly salient and urgent. The purpose of this special issue is to highlight a broad range of perspectives on these critical issues. We have included a total of 30 papers that address issues related to vaccine hesitancy and vaccine confidence across multiple levels of the Socio-Ecological Model. We have organized the empirical papers into the following sections: individual-level beliefs, minority health and health disparities, social media and conspiracy beliefs, and interventions. In addition to the empirical papers, three commentaries are included in this special issue.

“…Furthermore, germ aversion and disgust sensitivity were the most consistent and strongest predictors of concern about COVID-19 and preventive health behaviors (e.g., social distancing, handwashing) in a U.S. national sample, more so than demographic, social, and personality factors [44] . Greater disgust sensitivity has also been associated with greater influenza vaccine uptake and lower influenza vaccine hesitancy [26] , [42] . Theoretical models of disease avoidance are inherently a within-person process—a person may be more inclined to receive the vaccine when they experience greater disgust or germ aversion—yet studies examining disease avoidance often use methods that only allow the test of between-person differences [49] .…”

“…Affective risk perception can be understood as a type of heuristics (mental shortcut) process, which is more predictable than cognitive risk perception [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Several studies have revealed that affective risk perception of infectious disease was related to health behaviors [4,[7][8][9][20][21][22]. Furthermore, longitudinal studies in China revealed that worry and anxiety decreased after the peak of the epidemic [23].…”

The association between the risk perceptions of COVID-19, trust in the government, political ideologies, and socio-demographic factors: A year-long cross-sectional study in South Korea

et al. 2023

Risk perception research, targeting the general public, necessitates the study of the multi-faceted aspects of perceived risk through a holistic approach. This study aimed to investigate the association between the two dimensions of risk perception of COVID-19, i.e., risk as a feeling and analysis, trust in the current government, political ideologies, and socio-demographic factors in South Korea. This study used a year-long repeated cross-sectional design, in which a national sample (n = 23,018) participated in 23 consecutive telephone surveys from February 2020 to February 2021. Most factors differed in the magnitude and direction of their relationships with the two dimensions of risk perception. However, trust in the current government, alone, delineated an association in the same direction for both dimensions, i.e., those with a lower level of trust exhibited higher levels of cognitive and affective risk perception. Although these results did not change significantly during the one-year observation period, they are related to the political interpretation of risk. This study revealed that affective and cognitive risk perceptions addressed different dimensions of risk perception. These findings could help governments and health authorities better understand the nature and mechanisms of public risk perception when implementing countermeasures and policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and other public health emergencies.
