    Abstract Background: Positive and negative focus in information processing associated with age has a diverse role in COVID-19 vaccine uptake. The aim of the study was the exploration of the generational diversity among psychological predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
    Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted. The sample included 978 Hungarian women. Based on former literature findings, the COVID-19 vaccine uptake predictors were chosen from the health beliefs model, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, and psychological flexibility. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake in women of Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z.
    Results: In Gen X women, the influence of significant predictors are more prone to the positivity in COVID-19 vaccine uptake behavior,
    Conclusion: Women belonging to Gen X or Gen Y, the

    Abstract Studies provide evidence that distress, (health) anxiety, and depressive symptoms were high during the first weeks of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, decreasing over time (possibly due to individuals' protective psychological factors). Relations between different lockdown restrictions, mental health issues, and protective factors need to be explored, since even small lockdown effects might increase the risk of future mental health issues. We merged objective lockdown stringency data with individual data (

    Abstract The aim of the study was to develop and validate the Multidimensional Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (CoVaH), a self-report measure to assess the beliefs and attitudes beneath vaccination hesitancy and reasons for vaccine refusal in the context of Covid-19. A sample of 1503 Hungarian respondents filled out the scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to identify latent constructs underlying participants' responses. Findings show a robust three-factor solution for the 15-item CoVaH with high factor loadings on each factor: skepticism, risk perception and fear of Covid-19 vaccine. The CoVaH displayed very good fit indices (KMO = .94, RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = .983) and internal consistencies (α values > .89) and was found to have proper convergent, concurrent and discriminant validity in identifying Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in the general population. The new scale adds to the literature through the identification of the fear of COVID-19 vaccines, as a newly highlighted explanatory variable of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, besides the other formerly identified components. The scale, available in English and Hungarian, allows the assessment of vaccine uptake hesitancy and has the potential to help targeted interventions, considering individual factors that interfere with vaccination acceptance.

    Abstract Studies provide evidence that distress, (health) anxiety, and depressive symptoms were high during the first weeks of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, decreasing over time (possibly due to individuals’ protective psychological factors). Relations between different lockdown restrictions, mental health issues, and protective factors need to be explored, since even small lockdown effects might increase the risk of future mental health issues. We merged objective lockdown stringency data with individual data ( N = 1001) to examine differences in lockdown effects in strict lockdown (Romania) and mild lockdown (Hungary) conditions between March and May 2020 on stressors and mental health symptoms, taking protective factors into account. The stricter lockdown in Romania revealed higher levels of perceived risk of infection, distress intolerance, and COVID-19 health anxiety. Protective psychological factors were not affected by the lockdown measures. Surpassing psychological flexibility and resilient coping, self-control proved to be the most promising protective factor. It is recommended that future research merge objective data with study data to investigate the effects of different COVID-19 lockdown measures on mental health and protective factors. Policy decisions should consider lockdown-dependent consequences of mental health issues. Intervention programs are suggested to mitigate mental health issues and to strengthen peoples’ protective psychological factors.

    Abstract Background: Age related differences were found in prevention behavior, showing that older individuals tend to be the most proactive. The aim of the study was the identification of psychological predictors on COVID-19 prevention behavior in women, across four generations. In addition, the predictive role of the psychological variables was explored through the lens of negative and positive information processing perspective on total and domain-specific COVID-19 prevention behavior.
    Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted. The sample included 834 Hungarian speaking women. The assessed variables were: COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception, COVID-19 health anxiety, negative automatic thoughts, psychological flexibility, and four domains of COVID-19 prevention behavior (social distancing, general hygiene, information seeking, health behavior). A three-level hierarchical linear regression analysis was conducted to investigate the predictors of preventive behavior in each generation.
    Results: A diversity across generations was found. In case of baby boomer generation, the final model explained 32.4% of the variance for total prevention behavior [
    Conclusion: The role of generational identity on COVID-19 prevention behavior is relevant. The coexistence of negative and positive information processing may have its beneficial role in certain areas of prevention.
