To manage the spread of coronavirus, health entities have urged the public to
take preventive measures such as social distancing and handwashing. Yet, many
appear reluctant to take these measures. Research is needed to understand factors
underlying such reluctance, with the aim of developing targeted health
interventions. We identify associating coronavirus with death as one such factor.
590 participants completed surveys in mid-March 2020, which included attitudes
toward coronavirus, preventive behavioral intentions, and sociodemographic
factors. Associating coronavirus with death negatively predicted intentions to
perform preventive behaviors. Further, associating coronavirus with death was not
evenly distributed throughout the sample and was related with a number of
sociodemographic factors including age, race, and availability of sick leave.
Following recommended preventive measures to slow the spread of coronavirus
appears to relate to the degree to which people associate coronavirus with death.
These findings can be used by public health researchers and practitioners to
identify those for whom targeted health communication and interventions would be
most beneficial, as well as to frame health messaging in ways that combat
fatalism.
