Table 5.
Models of the Effect of Perceived Health on Preventive Behavior With Fear of COVID-19 as a Mediator.
| Unstand. Coeff. | SE or (Bootstrapping SE) | t-value or (Bootstrapping LLCI) | p-value or (Bootstrapping ULCI) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total effect of perceived health on preventive behavior | 0.072 | 0.052 | 1.398 | .163 |
| Direct effect of perceived health on preventive behavior | 0.019 | 0.050 | 0.376 | .707 |
| Direct effect of fear of COVID-19 on preventive behavior | 0.045 | 0.006 | 7.373 | <.001 |
| Direct effect of perceived health on mediator | ||||
| Fear of COVID-19 | 1.199 | 0.395 | 3.033 | .003 |
| Indirect effect of perceived health on preventive behavior | 0.054 | (0.021) | (0.017) | (.097) |
Note. Age and gender were adjusted for the model. Fear of COVID-19 was measured using Fear of COVID-19 Scale; Preventive behaviors using Preventive COVID-19 Behaviors. Unstand. Coeff. = unstandardized coefficient; LLCI = lower limit in 95% confidence interval; ULCI = upper limit in 95% confidence interval.
