Asociaciones implícitas hacia la vacunación contra la COVID-19 en una muestra colombiana

Resumen

The pandemic generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the end of 2019 demanded several contingency measures that have been deployed worldwide, one of them is the vaccination process. In Colombia, the latest report on the national vaccination plan shows that about 70.8% of the population completed their vaccination schedule. Several studies show that women, people older than 30, social groups with low education, people with higher perceived health and people with a high percentage of conspiracy thinking are more reluctant to be vaccinated. The present study aims to characterize the Implicit Associations towards vaccination against COVID-19 in a Colombian sample. A sample of 25 Colombian men and 39 women (n=64) between 15 and 59 years of age (SD = 7.08) was used. An Implicit Association Test towards vaccination against COVID-19 was used relating two categories (I get vaccinated and I do not get vaccinated) and two attributes (positive and negative). The type of sampling was non-probabilistic by convenience and the overall results indicate that there are no implicit associations towards vaccination against COVID-19, however, it was found that men have a greater associative strength towards negative attributes towards vaccination against Covid-19 than women.
