“…Research has since revealed some predictors of higher compliance with public health measures during the pandemic, notably older age ( Brouard et al, 2020 ; Haischer et al, 2020 ; Solomou and Constantinidou, 2020 ) and female gender ( Clark et al, 2020 ; Galasso et al, 2020 ; Haischer et al, 2020 ; Solomou and Constantinidou, 2020 ; Nivette et al, 2021 ). Higher self-efficacy ( Clark et al, 2020 ; Hamerman et al, 2021 ; Jørgensen et al, 2021 ), higher perceived vulnerability to disease ( De Coninck et al, 2020 ; Hromatko et al, 2021 ), higher trust in science ( Hromatko et al, 2021 ; Plohl and Musil, 2021 ), prosocial personality traits ( Dinić and Bodroža, 2021 ; Nivette et al, 2021 ; Ścigała et al, 2021 ), and lower exposure to misinformation ( Roozenbeek et al, 2020 ; Simonov et al, 2020 ; Greene and Murphy, 2021 ; Lin, 2022 ) have also been linked to higher compliance with public measures. We aimed to investigate whether pandemic-related affective states also predicted compliance with public health measures.…”
