Note: Vaccine History is the number of flu shots in the past 5 years (0–5). Vaccine Sensitivity measured with four items of the Brief Perceived Sensitivity to Medication Scale with “medicines” replaced by “vaccinations” [14] (1 = strongly disagree to 6 = strongly agree). Anti-Vaccine Attitudes measured with four items of the Vaccination Attitudes Examination Scale [15] (1 = strongly disagree to 6 = strongly agree). Dropout rates did not significantly differ by condition (15% in the treatment condition and 17% in the control condition) (F = 0.076, p < .783, η2 = 0.000) and there were no differences between participants in the control and mindset intervention conditions with respect to age, gender, vaccine history, or antivax attitudes (all ps > .11) suggesting that missingness was not selective to randomized condition [16].
