Abstract

Abstract: Conservatives in the United States have more negative attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines and are less likely to be vaccinated than liberals. The present research tests whether political differences in knowledge underlie differences in vaccination. Participants in Study 1 completed a knowledge test about COVID-19 vaccines and indicated whether they had received a COVID-19 vaccine. Republicans had worse knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines than Democrats. Furthermore, political differences in vaccination were significantly mediated by knowledge. Study 2 found that exposure to facts about COVID-19 vaccines led to more favorable perceptions of vaccine effectiveness among Republicans, which in turn was associated with stronger vaccination intentions. These data suggest that knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines may help to explain political differences in vaccination.

COVID-19期间知识的政治差异及其与疫苗接种的关系
摘要:美国保守派对COVID-19疫苗的态度更为消极,并且比自由派更不可能接种疫苗。目前的研究测试了知识上的政治差异是否构成疫苗接种差异的基础。研究1的参与者完成了一项关于COVID-19疫苗的知识测试,并表明他们是否接种了COVID-19疫苗。共和党人对COVID-19疫苗的了解比民主党人更差。此外,疫苗接种的政治差异在很大程度上受到知识的调节。研究2发现,接触有关COVID-19疫苗的事实导致共和党人对疫苗有效性有更有利的看法,这反过来又与更强的疫苗接种意图有关。这些数据表明,对COVID-19疫苗的了解可能有助于解释疫苗接种的政治差异。
