We focus on both COVID-19–specific factors, such as COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs, as well as more global personality attributes such as dogmatism, reactance, gender roles, political beliefs, and religiosity. Understanding the relationship of these attributes with COVID-19 vaccination could help design targeted and tailored messaging which could improve the effectiveness of behavioral interventions.
