Psychological characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the United Kingdom
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Vaccine hesitancy and resistance were found in substantial portions of the Irish and UK populations, with similar psychological profiles in both countries. Vaccine-hesitant/resistant individuals were more self-interested, distrustful of authority, and likely to hold conspiratorial and religious beliefs, compared to those willing to accept a vaccine.
