An analysis of survey data collected online via Qualtrics Panel early in the COVID-19 pandemic. We will examine the extent to which social distancing and self-quarantining prospectively predicted mental health (i.e., depression and anxiety), and vice versa, over the course of eight weeks in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults (n = 1,011).

This study will examine the relations between the dark & light personality traits and sociosexuality.

An analysis of survey data collected online via Amazon Mechanical Turk pre- COVID-19 and during COVID-19. Datasets contain measures related to pain (e.g., pain sensitivity, fear of pain) and psychosocial variables (e.g., concern about COVID-19, personality)

Despite annual availability of influenza vaccines in the United States, influenza is responsible for thousands of deaths and millions in medical costs every year. In part, this is due to vaccine hesitancy. Indeed, the average U.S. adult vaccination rate is 48%, which lags far behind the target rate of 70%. Although various demographic and psychosocial factors have been identified as correlates of influenza vaccine hesitancy, factors that promote infectious disease avoidance, such as disgust sensitivity, have been rarely examined. Using data from a year-long longitudinal study with a large national U.S. sample (Ns = 924), we will test whether disgust sensitivity is associated with previous flu vaccine uptake and influenza vaccine hesitancy, as well as prospectively predicts vaccine uptake during the 2020-2021 flu season. The findings from this project will expand our understanding of individual level factors associated with influenza vaccine hesitancy and uptake, as well as potentially highlight a psychological factor to be targeted in vaccine hesitancy interventions.

We hypothesize that people who believe that men lack sexual self-control will be more morally opposed to women wearing immodest clothing and breastfeeding in public. We will assess the relation between these stereotypes and attitudes in a correlational study.

This preregistration covers 4 studies that are the part of the project titled "Testing the Influence of Disease Avoidance on Sociosexuality: A Multi-Method Investigation"
