Abstract

Abstract In the present study, we examine how subgroups of people are characterized by different profiles of uncertainty surrounding COVID‐19, susceptibility, and recovery. Participants ( N = 199) were U.S. residents recruited online for a longitudinal study during the summer of 2020. We first, identified groups using latent profile analysis (LPA) and then examined whether these profiles predicted differences in COVID‐related risky and preventative behaviors. LPA identified five distinct profiles of people representing a combination of low and high uncertainty and low, moderate, and high risk perceptions. Results revealed that latent‐profile group membership predicted intention to interact with others outside of the household, intention to engage in non‐essential shopping, intention to attend an in‐person religious gathering, intention to wear a mask in public, and self‐reported physical distancing in the past week. Profile membership did not predict intentions to: dine out, go to the nail/hair salon, go to the gym, nor physically distance from others in the future, nor did it predict handwashing in the past week.

COVID - 19大流行期间的不确定性和风险:潜在特征分析

在本研究中，我们研究了不同人群对COVID - 19的不确定性、易感性和恢复情况的不同特征。参与者(N = 199)是2020年夏天在网上招募的一项纵向研究的美国居民。我们首先使用潜在特征分析(LPA)确定各组，然后检查这些特征是否预测了与COVID相关的风险和预防行为的差异。LPA确定了代表低不确定性和高不确定性以及低、中等和高风险感知组合的五种不同的人的概况。结果显示，在过去的一周中，潜在的群体成员预测了与家庭以外的人互动的意图，参与非必要购物的意图，参加亲自宗教聚会的意图，在公共场合戴口罩的意图，以及自我报告的身体距离。个人资料的会员资格并不能预测人们的意图:外出就餐、去美甲/美发沙龙、去健身房，也不能预测未来与他人的距离，也不能预测过去一周的洗手情况。
