Public preparation for the COVID-19 pandemic was widely covered in the media due
to its intensity and fast-pace. While some individuals prepared with personal
safety supplies such as soap and hand sanitizer, many others did not purchase
such preparatory products. There are many health and safety benefits to quick
engagement and emergency preparedness in a pandemic, and it is important to
identify those who conduct these behaviors. The present study examined who
engaged in preparatory purchasing of safety and health care products during the
early stages of the spread of COVID-19 and what stimulated this action. Results
of a cross-sectional study (N = 344) indicates that possessing, or uncertainty
about possessing a COVID-19 risk factor (but not differences in age, gender,
race, or income), increased purchasing of preparatory health and safety products.
Also, in line with past research on risk, affect, and behavior, worry mediated
this relationship. Further, gender moderated the relationship between worry and
purchasing, such that worry increased product purchasing for men, who were
initially low in worry, but not for women. This study lends additional support to
worry as a mediator between risk and safety-related behavior and has implications
for understanding factors related to preparatory purchasing of health care
products during pandemics.
