Note. AD = affective disorders; HC = healthy controls; M = mean; SD = standard deviation; a = mean of five-point likert scale: “the benefit of the COVID-19 vaccination clearly outweighs the risk”, “the risk of the vaccination clearly outweighs the benefits” (recoded), “I want to counteract a personally serious COVID-19 course with a vaccination”, I might want to help protect others with my own vaccination”, “I am concerned that the vaccination interact with other medication that I take” (recoded), “It takes little effort for me to get vaccinated”, “I will mainly get vaccinated because relatives advise me to do so”, “I will mainly get vaccinated because doctors advise me to do so”, “I generally do not see any benefit in vaccinations” (recoded); b = response scale 0–100%; significant results in bold letters.
