Mediational model of mixed emotions predicting legitimate virus-prevention behaviors and eudaimonic functioning via receptivity in Study 2. Bolded lines represent significant paths while dashed lines indicate nonsignificant paths. ^*** p < 0.001. Positive emotions, negative emotions, age, gender, education level, household income, household size, and social desirability were controlled for in all pathways. Indirect effects of mixed emotions via receptivity were significant for both legitimate virus-prevention behaviors (indirect effect = 0.22, 95% CI [0.08, 0.39]) and eudaimonic functioning (indirect effect = 0.21, 95% CI [0.09, 0.37])
