Figure 6.

Structural equation model. Four variables, each represented by three survey items, were tested for model fit, and then analyzed for prediction of the output variable, attitudes toward COVID vaccination. Each rectangle represents a survey item as described in Table 2. Solid lines show statistically significant predictive ability while dashed lines show nonsignificant associations. Negative overall vaccine attitudes and a strong perception of too-rapid vaccine testing were predictive of worse attitudes towards receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Education and political ideology were tested as covariates and did not show significant prediction of COVID-19 vaccine attitudes.
