摘要

关于COVID-19疫苗的沟通需要循证战略。我们提出了一项定量调查的结果，该调查测量了参与者对有关疫苗的低或高不确定性信息的理解、信任和决策。传达高度不确定性的沟通导致较低的自我评估理解，但对可能结果的实际理解较高。传达低不确定性的沟通提高了以前反对疫苗的人对疫苗的接受程度。这表明，随着时间的推移，传播的不确定性可能会产生不同的影响，根据受众先前对疫苗的态度调整信息传递可能很重要。这些发现支持有必要进一步调查不确定性沟通如何影响疫苗接受。

To Vaccinate or Not? The Role Played by Uncertainty Communication on Public Understanding and Behavior Regarding COVID-19

Communication regarding COVID-19 vaccines requires evidence-based strategies. We present findings from a quantitative survey measuring participants’ understanding, trust, and decision-making in response to information conveying low or high uncertainty regarding the vaccine. Communication conveying high uncertainty led to lower self-assessed understanding but higher actual understanding of possible outcomes. Communication conveying low uncertainty increased vaccine acceptance by those who previously opposed vaccines. This indicates that communicating uncertainty may have different effects over time and that adjusting messaging depending on audiences’ prior vaccine attitudes might be important. These findings support the need for further investigation of how uncertainty communication influences vaccine acceptance.
