“…Consistent with our prior study ( Cunningham et al, 2021 ) and many news media polls, non-compliance with CDC recommendations with respect to COVID-19 have been linked both to ethnic group membership and political attitudes. Ethnic minorities in the U.S. have a long history of health care inequities, including unethical medical treatment in cases such as the 1932–1972 Tuskegee Syphilis Study ( Thomas and Quinn, 1991 ).…”

“…In Study 1, we found that those who scored higher on the CVBHM were disposed to take personal responsibility for their personal health, were less prone to attribute their health outcomes to external forces that were outside of their control, and were prone to trust science and seek out informative news, all of which are qualities that may be prized by prospective employers who seek hard-working and dedicated employees. Our prior studies on the CVBHM reported that high scorers were more agreeable, conscientious, open to new ideas and experiences and interested in social and artistic careers ( Cunningham et al, 2021 ), which also are desirable qualities to many employers.…”

“…Our prior investigation found that a second group, individuals with conservative political sentiments who tend to vote Republican, also displayed less safety-conscious responses to COVID-19 ( Cunningham et al, 2021 ). During the period of the study, Republican U.S. President Donald Trump consistently downplayed the pandemic, denigrated efforts to prevent the spread of the disease and concealed the seriousness of his own encounter with the illness, which required substantial medical intervention.…”

“…In March of 2020, our research team developed a new instrument called the Coronavirus Behavioral Health Mindset assessment (CVBHM). The instrument was designed to protect consumers and workers by assessing biosafety risk through acceptance of responsibility for protection of oneself and others, social distancing, and adhering to prevention measures ( Dreschler et al, 2020 ; Cunningham et al, 2021 ).…”

Three studies were conducted to explore the psychological determinants of COVID-deterrent behaviors. In Study 1, using data collected and analyzed both before and after the release of COVID-19 vaccines, mask-wearing, other preventative behaviors like social distancing, and vaccination intentions were positively related to assessments of the Coronavirus Behavioral Health Mindset (CVBHM); belief in the credibility of science; progressive political orientation; less use of repressive and more use of sensitization coping; and the attribution of COVID-19 safety to effort rather than ability, powerful forces, fate, or luck. In Study 2, favorable COVID-19 vaccination intentions were related to greater willingness to work, lower emotional distress, and greater customer experience mindset. Study 3 examined the personality and motives of individuals who volunteered to help deliver COVID-19 inoculations to the local community. The vaccine-giving volunteers, especially those with prosocial motives, had high CVBHM scores, belief in the credibility of science, low use of repressive coping, greater attribution of COVID-19 protection to effort, low likelihood of voting conservative, were older, and had more education than others. The majority of public health volunteers expressed prosocial motives to help people or join a cause (60.7%), but many (39.3%) expressed the personal motives of getting the COVID-19 vaccination for themselves, conveying a public image of compassion, or structuring time. Based on the three research studies, a COVID-19 Mindset Hierarchy model is proposed to integrate the results.

“…Fortunately, new procedures have become available to allow for the rapid prototyping and validation of novel assessment constructs. It is now possible to recognize the need for a new assessment dimension, such as the Coronavirus Behavioral Health Mindset (a measure of biosafety in the workplace during the pandemic; Cunningham et al, 2021), develop the items, obtain samples of relevant online respondents, and analyze the data for reliability and concurrent validity within four to six weeks, or even faster. This type of high-speed prototyping and development must be included in the design process to satisfy today's clients.…”

Testosterone and cortisol in women are involved in regulating social and sexual behavior. So far, research shows that the interaction of these hormones modulates dominant and submissive personalities, empathy, and reactive aggression. In this study, we investigated whether women's testosterone and cortisol contribute to attributing different characteristics of sexual threatening, attractiveness, success, dominance, and flirtatiousness to female morphs that vary in waist-to-hip ratio (WHR; 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) after being prepared to imagine a scenario of sexual competition. One hundred forty-two female volunteers recruited from various university faculties provided a 6-ml saliva sample for hormonal analyses and, subsequently, rated the five attributes for each morph. Testosterone and cortisol did not affect identifying the 0.7 WHR as the more sexually threatening. Participants with high testosterone and low cortisol gave demeaning rates to the three morphs, except for the dominance of the 0.7 morphs, which received high scores. These patterns might suggest this hormone profile is associated with women's proactive aggression, including rival derogation. In contrast, women with high testosterone and cortisol gave higher scores to all morphs except for dominance suggesting this hormone profile might be associated with threat detection. In summary, our results provide novel information on the effects of C and T on the interpretation of the sexual and social behavior of potential rivals according to their WHRs. Public Significance StatementThis study acknowledges that the synergistic action of feminine testosterone and cortisol effects induce a cognitive bias when qualifying putative behaviors of female morphs having 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 waist-to-hip ratios. In general, demeaning ratings to all body shapes correlated with low cortisol and high testosterone levels, while appraising happened when both hormones were elevated. Finally, independently from hormones' actions, participants recognized the 0.7 waist-to-hip as the most threatening rival.
