Abstract

Purpose: The objectives of present study were to evaluate the properties of a behavior modification of people in India associated with coronavirus outbreak. The behavior modification is measure of coronavirus related psychopathology, which was validated through a large sample study on adults who reported significant change in behavior due to watching and reading about coronavirus pandemic. Methods: Door to door and online survey conducted in Morena and Gwalior District, Madhya Pradesh, India, for collection of data of 1050 adults’. The partakers were contacted individually, through online and complete information were taken out through a questionnaire of different parameters. Because the study focused on the effect of thinking and/or watching about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on physical activity of body, behavior, mental stress, anxiety, faith in God, and appetite. Results: A total of 16 symptoms of behavior modification due to coronavirus outbreak were statistically defined through a principal component analysis with Varimax rotation. The results were confirmed by a two-component structure and the total variance explained 55.23% for first component accounting. The six prime loadings on the first component were selected for the behavior changes because these loadings well exceeded the criteria for psychometrically prime items. Especially, communalities extraction coefficients (CEC) ranged from 0.717 to 0.853, coefficients of structure/pattern ranged from 0.71 to 0.90, and cross-loadings ranged from 0.17 to 0.22. These symptoms were used for the determination of different parameters such as decreased physical activity, psychological disturbances, mental stress, anxiety, faith in God, and appetite before arising COVID-19 infection and were highly reliable (α = 0.83) as a cluster. Conclusion: For the coronavirus outbreak, models will be required for control the negative behavior modification of peoples so that they can use their skill for positive outcomes. The clear cut updated policy of should be implemented to reduce these types of modifications. The prime symptoms of behavior modification were validated and stabilized through statistical tools such as CEC, coefficients of structure/pattern, and analysis of variance. Hence, we can say that if opinions of some experts are correct, then world’s most of population need special care to avoid behavior modification due to coronavirus outbreak.
冠状病毒爆发对人类行为的改变:当前情景的简要研究
目的:本研究的目的是评估与冠状病毒爆发有关的印度人的行为改变的性质。行为改变是冠状病毒相关精神病理学的衡量标准,通过对成年人的大样本研究证实了这一点,这些成年人报告说,由于观看和阅读有关冠状病毒大流行的报道,他们的行为发生了重大变化。方法:在印度中央邦Morena和Gwalior地区进行上门调查和在线调查,收集1050名成年人的数据。通过在线方式与参与者单独联系,并通过不同参数的问卷调查获得完整的信息。因为这项研究的重点是思考和/或观看2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)对身体活动、行为、精神压力、焦虑、对上帝的信仰和食欲的影响。结果:通过Varimax旋转主成分分析,统计确定了16种冠状病毒爆发导致的行为改变症状。结果证实了双成分结构,总方差解释55.23%的第一成分会计。第一个成分的六个启动负荷被选择用于行为改变,因为这些负荷远远超过心理计量启动项目的标准。群落提取系数(CEC)在0.717 ~ 0.853之间,结构/格局系数在0.71 ~ 0.90之间,交叉负荷在0.17 ~ 0.22之间。这些症状被用于确定新冠病毒感染前的不同参数,如体力活动减少、心理障碍、精神压力、焦虑、对上帝的信仰和食欲,作为一个聚类具有高度可靠性(α = 0.83)。结论:对于冠状病毒疫情,需要建立模型来控制人们的消极行为改变,使他们能够利用自己的技能取得积极成果。应该实施明确的更新策略来减少这些类型的修改。通过CEC、结构/模式系数和方差分析等统计工具验证和稳定行为改变的主要症状。因此,我们可以说,如果一些专家的意见是正确的,那么世界上大多数人口需要特别照顾,以避免因冠状病毒爆发而改变行为。
