Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among vertical collectivism, health behaviors, and vaccine intentions; and the mediating role of COVID-19 attitudes. A total of 2244 participations was collected in this study. R software environment was used to conduct the path analysis in this study. The results showed that (1) there was a significant positive relationship between vertical collectivism, individuals’ health behaviors and COVID-19 vaccine intentions; (2) COVID-19 attitudes mediated the relationship between vertical collectivism, health behaviors, and COVID-19 vaccine intentions. The results of this study have theoretical and practical implications for the prevention and vaccination of neo-coronavirus, and this study also provides empirical evidence to use R software environment and new methodological approaches in public health area.
