简要总结
Study description:
The preset study seeks to investigate factors associated with of hygiene-related behaviors and adherence to viral mitigation protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, factors associated with of adherence to WHO-advised hygiene-related behaviors and adherence to governmental mitigation protocols are investigations.
The aim of the project is to:
- Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the cognitive, behavioral, emotional, motivational, and trait components underlying hygiene-related behaviors and adherence.
- Help policymakers better understand adherence and the factors it is associated with, providing empirical grounds to advance societies battle against the COVID-19-virus from an epidemiological perspective by promoting factors that increase adherence.
Hypothesis/Research questions Hypothesis 1: Risk perception, altruism and governmental trust will significantly be associated with both adherence and hygiene-related behavior, with increased risk perception, altruism, and governmental trust associated with higher rates of adherence and hygiene-related behavior. The personality traits conscientiousness and agreeableness will significantly be associated with both adherence and hygiene related behavior, with increased conscientiousness, and agreeableness associated with higher rates of adherence and hygiene-related behavior. Furthermore, beliefs about pandemic protocol efficacy and beliefs about collective mitigation behavior (i.e., "it is only useful to follow transmission protocols if everyone else does") will be associated with adherence to viral mitigation protocols and hygiene-related behaviors.
Research Question 1: Is there a difference between the use of various platforms to obtain information about COVID with regards to adherence to viral mitigation protocols and hygiene-related behaviors? Research Question 2: To what extend are different sources of obtaining information associated with adherence to hygiene-related behavior and adherence to viral mitigation protocols? Research Question 3: To what extent are different personality traits (measured with the Short Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10)) associated with adherence to viral mitigation protocols and hygiene-related behaviors?

Statistical analyses:
Two hierarchical regression analyses will be conducted: one with adherence to hygiene-related behavior as the dependent variable, and the second with adherence to pandemic protocols as the dependent variable. In both hierarchical regression analysis, the first step will include the demographic characteristics (control variables) age, gender, and education. The second step will include risk perception, altruism, governmental trust, personality traits (i.e., neuroticism, extroversion-introversion, openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness), beliefs about pandemic protocol efficacy and beliefs about collective mitigation behavior.
Part correlations will be reported, presenting the effect size of the hypothesized predictors on adherence, revealing the most important variables related to adherence behavior. Multicollinearity and other statistical assumptions will be checked using examined. Multicollinearity will be assessed with common guidelines (VIF < 5 and Tolerance > 0.2; Hocking, 2003; O'Brian, 2007).

结局指标
主要结局
Adherence to WHO-advised hygiene-related
时间窗: Data is set to be collected starting from 22nd of June until enough data has been collected. The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks.
Adherence to WHO-advised hygiene related behavior is measured with 7 items querying about hygiene-related behavior as recommended by the WHO, measured with on a 5-point likert scale, measuring the frequency of these behaviors for the past month (0 = not at all to 4 = Every day)
Adherence to viral mitigation protocols
时间窗: Data is set to be collected starting from 22nd of June until enough data has been collected. The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks.
o Adherence to viral mitigation protocols is measured with 5 items querying about adherence to mitigation protocols initiated by the Norwegian government, measured with on a 5-point likert scale, measuring the frequency of adherence to these protocols for the past month (0 = not at all to 4 = Every day).
