Abstract

The variable beliefs and behaviors of U.S. citizens in response to the COVID-19 pandemic influence its transmission rate. The present study (n=554) aims to evaluate the relationship between risk taking propensity, individualism, locus of control, and trust in science in predicting the degree of concern about COVID-19.
