Table 1.

Overview of outcome measures. Reliability of multiple-item scales is indicated by Cronbach’s alpha; numbers behind alphas relate to the respective experiments. All outcome measures were converted into percentages of maximum possible scores of the original scales (POMP), with higher values indicating a more positive attitude, greater confidence in vaccination and stronger intention.

attitude towards vaccination Exp. 1–3 mean score of 5-point rating scales (α1pre = .72; α1post = .85; α2pre = .81; α2post = .86; α3pre = .84; α3post = .88) Please indicate how much you agree with the following statements.
1. Vaccinating against dysomeria is necessary.
2. Vaccinating against dysomeria is a good idea.
3. Vaccinating against dysomeria is beneficial.
(1 = I strongly disagree, 5 = I strongly agree)
(Schmid & Betsch, 2019)
intention to get vaccinated Exp. 1–3 visual analog scale If you had the opportunity to get vaccinated against dysomeria, what would you do?
(1 = I will definitely not get vaccinated, 100 = I will definitely get vaccinated)
(Schmid & Betsch, 2019)
confidence in vaccination Exp. 2–3 mean score of 5-point rating scales
(α2pre = .71; α2post = .83; α3pre = .77; α3post = .85)
Please indicate how much you agree with the following statements.
1. Vaccination against dysomeria is effective.
2. I am completely confident that the vaccine against dysomeria is safe.
3. Regarding the vaccine against dysomeria, I am confident that public authorities decide in the best interest of the community.
(1 = I strongly disagree, 5 = I strongly agree)
