BIS = behavioural inhibition; FFFS = fight–flight–freeze; GDP = goal‐drive persistence; Ill‐att = negative attitudes to illness; Imp = impulsivity; infra = levels of concern about other infrastructure; isolate = intention to self‐isolate (yes/no); NHS = level of concern about health services; RI = reward interest; RR = reward reactivity; RST = reinforcement sensitivity theory; safety = level of concern about personal safety.
