• TITLE: Personal Correlates of Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy

  AUTHORS: Adrian Furnham

  KEYWORDS: Covid Vaccine, Demographics, Ideology, Intelligence

  JOURNAL NAME: Health, Vol.14 No.1, January 13, 2022

  ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to examine some overlooked individual difference (demography, ideology, ability) correlates of attitudes to being vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccine. Six hundred and sixteen adults were asked about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The relationship between demographic (age, sex, education), ideology (political and religious beliefs), intelligence (cognitive ability) and attitudes to vaccination (acceptance, hesitancy, rejection) was examined. Correlations and regressions indicated that vaccine hesitancy and rejection were associated primarily with intelligence and political beliefs as well as mental illness history, as well as religious beliefs. Effect sizes were however small. Limitations are acknowledged.
