An Individual's Beliefs and Knowledge Can Impact One's Probability of Contracting COVID
Can we predict who is likely to contract COVID?
Knowledge is not just power. It also prevents one from contracting COVID
ELAINE analyzed a narrative from nature.com and it abstracts the knowledge of COVID prevention.
The followings are the takeaway offered by ELAINE:
In conclusion, the current research offers novel evidence regarding the importance of one's beliefs and personal characteristics in predicting the likelihood of contracting the COVID-19 virus. The findings identify personal, psychological factors that appear to predispose a person to undue risk of contracting COVID-19.
That is, greater confidence in Trump was associated with a decrease in perceived risk of COVID-19, and such individuals were in fact less likely to contract the virus.
Younger individuals, males, and Black participants were likely to have less accurate knowledge about COVID-19 and were more likely to contract the virus. Gender and the race variable were also mediated, to a lesser extent, by perceptions of risk.
