Abstract

Regular testing using rapid antigen lateral flow tests (LFTs) was an important prevention strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, falsification of home LFTs was a concern. Using a large quota-representative sample of adults (n = 1295) in England, we conducted a vignette survey consisting of four hypothetical scenarios of LFT falsification behaviours (FBs) to examine whether prosocial personality traits were associated with attitudes towards and intentions for falsifying home LFTs during the pandemic. Results show that higher levels of affective empathy for people vulnerable to COVID-19 and Honesty-Humility from the HEXACO model of Personality are associated with non-acceptability of LFT FBs and intentions to not engage with them. However, affective empathy explained more of the variation compared to the facet-level measures of Honesty-Humility for both attitude and intention. Public health communications aimed at encouraging personal protective behaviours should consider the role of empathy and prosocial messages.

通过小故事探索 COVID-19 侧流测试造假的人格相关性。

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，使用快速抗原侧流试验（LFT）进行定期检测是一项重要的预防策略。然而，家庭 LFT 的造假问题令人担忧。通过对英格兰成年人（n = 1295）进行大量定额代表性抽样调查，我们对四种假设的 LFT 伪造行为（FBs）进行了小故事调查，以研究在大流行期间，亲社会人格特质是否与伪造家庭 LFT 的态度和意图相关。结果显示，对易受 COVID-19 和 HEXACO 人格模型中的诚实-谦逊影响的人的情感共情水平较高，与不接受 LFT FBs 和不参与 LFT FBs 的意向有关。然而，在态度和意向方面，与诚实-谦逊的面级测量相比，情感移情解释了更多的变异。旨在鼓励个人防护行为的公共健康传播应考虑移情和亲社会信息的作用。
