Beyond emotions: Social cognitive predictors of COVID-19 vaccination intentions before and after vaccine roll-out

Multinational longitudinal study (33 countries, n=586) examining psychosocial predictors of COVID-19 vaccination intention at two time points: pre-rollout (April-June 2020) and post-rollout (January-February 2021). Self-efficacy and perceived severity were consistent predictors of vaccination intention at both time points. Perceived susceptibility was negatively associated with intention only before rollout. After vaccine rollout, declines were observed in self-efficacy, prosociality, psychological flexibility, and positive affect. General psychological variables did not significantly predict vaccination intention.
