20.500.12556/RUL-135701 Examining the role of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs in predicting vaccination intentions, preventive behavior and willingness to share opinions about the coronavirus The primary aim of our study was to examine the role of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs in predicting outcomes that could potentially worsen the course of the pandemic: preventive behavior, vaccination intentions and willingness to share COVID-19 related opinions. Structural equation modeling was performed on a Slovenian sample (N = 490). Analysis showed that COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs predicted all three health-related outcomes when sociodemographic variables were controlled for. Further, a perceived coronavirus threat was identified as an important mediating factor between conspiracy beliefs, preventive behavior and vaccination intentions. Conspiracy beliefs were also positively associated with age, female gender, religiosity, and share of COVID-19 information from social media, while they were negatively associated with level of education. The results suggest that COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs may be an important barrier to achieving pandemic management goals and highlight some risk factors for their occurrence. pandemics epidemics coronavirus COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs preventive health behavior vaccination vaccination attitudes psychology Trust in science and scientists inventory TSSI COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs preventive behavior vaccination willingness to share opinions pandemije epidemije koronavirus COVID-19 prepričanja v teorije zarote preventivno zdravstveno vedenje cepljenje stališča do cepljenja psihologija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2022-03-29 09:03:41 2022-03-29 09:03:50 2022-09-14 04:14:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 136-153 no. 1 Vol. 64 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 159.9:616-036.22 0039-3320 10.31577/sp.2022.01.844 101499395 RAZ_Zelic_Zan_2022.pdf RAZ_Zelic_Zan_2022.pdf 1 F93CCD09890A654D91E41DC9F10ADFBA c2b4817ff8b95afda81f56123688b0236b04b6ccdcfc9621660e8e4ddf01fd03 137ccf5e-af2f-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154943 https://journals.savba.sk/index.php/studiapsychologica/article/view/637/105 1 5f989bc2-af2e-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154942 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
