Abstract

We investigated irrational beliefs defined in rational-emotive cognitive-behavior therapy (REBT), attachment anxiety and avoidance, and conspiracy mentality as mediators of the relationship between HEXACO and Disintegration traits and COVID-19 health behaviors. Structural equation modeling on a sample of 287 participants, showed that Disintegration (D) was related to all mediating variables, highlighting the importance of D in the emergence of irrational beliefs. Conspiracy mentality mediated the effect of D in low adherence to recommended health behaviors - RHB , negative vaccination behavior, and greater use of pseudoscientific practices - PSP . Attachment anxiety mediated the relationship between high D, high Emotionality (E), and low Honesty (H) and lower adherence to RHB. Higher adherence to RHB predicted positive vaccination behavior, whilst there was no relationship between PSP use and vaccination behavior. REBT irrational beliefs and attachment avoidance were not found to be significant mediators of the relationship between personality traits and COVID-19 health behaviors.

人格、阴谋心理、REBT非理性信念和成人依恋在COVID-19相关健康行为中的作用

我们研究了理性情绪认知行为疗法(REBT)中定义的非理性信念、依恋焦虑和回避以及阴谋心理在HEXACO和解体特征与COVID-19健康行为之间的中介作用。对287名参与者的样本进行结构方程建模，表明解体(D)与所有中介变量相关，突出了D在非理性信念出现中的重要性。阴谋心理介导了D在低遵守推荐健康行为(RHB)、消极疫苗接种行为和更多使用伪科学行为(PSP)中的作用。依恋焦虑在高D、高情绪(E)、低诚实(H)与低依从性之间起中介作用。较高的RHB依从性预测了积极的疫苗接种行为，而PSP使用与疫苗接种行为之间没有关系。REBT非理性信念和依恋回避并不是人格特质与COVID-19健康行为之间关系的显著中介。
