Abstract
This study explored college students’ COVID-19-vaccination decisions. Thematic analyses for 76 vaccination-inclined and hesitant students in focus-group discussions revealed that these groups reported differential patterns of positive and negative emotions, appraisals, and heuristics in influencing decision-making. These findings could provide insights into the factors influencing students’ vaccination decisions.
