“…However, unlike previous research 14 , the results of this study showed no significant correlation between the optimistic bias and other personal protective measures. Shukla, et al 35 pointed out that an optimistic bias may lead to risky behavior and that therefore, it may still be effective to reduce optimistic bias in order to avoid public expose to risk.…”

This study investigated the cognition, information behaviors and preventive behaviors of Taiwanese citizens in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey was administered and 610 valid responses were collected. The relationships between demographic variables and optimistic bias, social trust, information credibility, personal protective measures, avoidance of human contact, and immune system strengthening were examined. Results showed that optimistic bias existed, but there was no significant correlation between optimistic bias and personal protective measures. Laypersons had high trust in the government, but also optimistic bias. Gender was the most important predictor; with occupation and region of residence also interacting with different preventive behaviors. People in Taiwan may be overly optimistic in facing the epidemic; relevant information should be properly disclosed to help reduce this bias. Social trust in the government seems to be an important successful factor in the fight against COVID-19 in Taiwan.

“…Furthermore, illusion of invulnerability can also stick with time. In panel research, Huber et Shukla et al, 2021). Moreover, in a three wave, Shukla et al (2021) found that illusion of invulnerability changed into chronic amongst university undergraduates in all the 3-time waves.…”

“…It indicates that people take pleasure in unstable conduct once they have a misconception of much less/no perceived self-threat. They have imprecise cost and bene cial statistics that overstate the compensations of risky conduct (Shukla et al, 2021). For this reason human beings show Coronavirus Disease-19 illusion of invulnerability in the event that they sense less susceptible than other people.…”

This research inspects even if the illusion of invulnerability in Coronavirus disease-2019 among persons raises uncertain behavior via questionnaire statistics of university undergraduates in Pakistan. We investigate whether members' illusion of invulnerability varies depending on their point of intimacy with other people. Research detected that the classmates' presence in the place of neighbourhoods/guests creates members with greater Coronavirus disease-2019 illusion of invulnerability disposed to take more threats. As well, it is observed that preventive behavioral standards tailed by members lessen uncertain behavior amongst members with the greater illusion of invulnerability. Our research results suggest significant inferences for officials to reduce the spread of the virus among university undergraduates.

“…Temuan juga melengkapi temuan sebelumnya yang menjelaskan bahwa kepercayaan kepada pemerintah atau pemegang kekuasaan dapat mengembangkan perilaku untuk menjalankan kebijakan dari pemegang kekuasaan tersebut (25) . Hasil penelitian juga melengkapi penelitian lain yang menjelaskan bahwa rasa takut dan kecemasan selama mengalami masa pandemi bisa mempengaruhi perilaku seseorang untuk mamatuhi protokol kesehatan (26) ; selain itu media sosial, situs web resmi, dan sumber berita on line lainnya juga mempengaruhi secara positif perilaku pencegahan pandemi (27) ; pemberian pendidikan untuk meningkatkan sikap, norma subyektif, dan kontrol perilaku pada remaja dapat meningkatkan perilaku pencegahan covid-19 (28)(29)(30).…”

Pembelajaran tatap muka memerlukan beberapa persiapan untuk mencegah berkembangnya kembali Covid-19. Mahasiswa adalah mayoritas dari penghuni kampus yang terlibat dalam proses pembelajaran sehingga kepatuhan mahasiswa dalam melaksanakan protokol kesehatan sangatlah penting. Protokol kesehatan mengharuskan cuci tangan sebagai bagian aktifitas penting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model perilaku mencuci tangan dan menguji pengaruh variabel pengetahuan (Z1), sikap (Z2), dan sarana sabun, air, hand sanitizer (Z3) terhadap perilaku mencuci tangan (Y). Pengujian model menggunakan satu set data empiris yang dikumpulkan dari 101 mahasiswa jurusan teknik kimia secara acak. Selanjutnya data dikumpulkan, diurutkan, dan dianalisa secara statisik menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji regresi linier berganda, uji T, dan uji F. Representasi data, validasi dan korelasi data dilakukan dalam MS Excel dan SPSS 20. Uji regresi linier berganda menghasilkan persamaan Y = 3,722 + 0,035 Z1 + 0,142 Z2 + 0,269 Z3 + e. Uji T menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan tidak mempengaruhi secara parsial perilaku mencuci tangan; baik sikap maupun sarana, masing-masing mempengaruhi secara parsial perilaku mencuci tangan. Uji F menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan, sikap, dan sarana mempengaruhi secara serentak perilaku mencuci tangan. Pengujian koefisien determinasi dari model menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan, sikap, dan sarana sabun, air, hand sanitizer memberikan kontribusi 48,3% dari seluruh variabel yang mempengaruhi perilaku mencuci tangan. Pengembangan perilaku mencuci tangan dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian stimulus, antara lain sosialisasi pentingnya mencuci tangan (melalui poster, banner, penyuluhan di sela perkuliahan), penyediaan sarana sabun, air, dan hand sanitizer di sudut-sudut kampus, dan pelibatan mahasiswa dalam kegiatan sosialisasi maupun penyediaan sarana cuci tangan.
