Abstract

Vaccination against highly infectious diseases constitutes a major decision for the sandwich generation. However, a comprehensive understanding of the development of this critical decision is lacking. Toward this end, this study aims to investigate how two contrasting types of social influence, that is, compliance and conformity, distinctively shape the sandwich generation's self-efficacy about vaccination for themselves, their children, and their parents. A moderated structural equation model was tested on the data collected from 590 voluntary subjects across China. The results reveal that the components of the sandwich generation's self-efficacy: perceived safety, effectiveness, and trust in vaccines inflict differential effects on their vaccination decisions for themselves, their children, and their parents. Moreover, under high compliance, the sandwich generation shows a higher intention to vaccinate themselves and their parents than their children. Conformity weakens the effects of the sandwich generation's self-efficacy on their vaccination decisions for the three targets.

如何解决三明治一代在自己、孩子和父母的疫苗接种决策上的难题?整合社会认知和社会影响视角的实证分析。
对“三明治一代”来说,接种预防高度传染性疾病的疫苗是一项重大决定。然而,缺乏对这一关键决策发展的全面理解。为此,本研究旨在探讨顺从和从众这两种截然不同的社会影响如何独特地塑造三明治一代对自己、孩子和父母接种疫苗的自我效能感。对中国各地590名自愿受试者的数据进行了调节结构方程模型的检验。结果表明,三明治一代的自我效能的组成部分:感知安全性,有效性和对疫苗的信任对他们自己,他们的孩子和他们的父母的疫苗接种决策造成不同的影响。此外,在高依从性下,三明治一代对自己和父母接种疫苗的意愿高于子女。从众削弱了三明治一代的自我效能感对三个目标疫苗接种决策的影响。
