Abstract

Koronavirusna bolest 2019 (COVID-19) zarazna je bolest čiji je uzročnik teški akutni respiratorni sindrom coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Prvo zabilježen u kineskom gradu Wuhanu krajem 2019., iz Wuhana se virus proširio cijelim svijetom, te je 11. ožujka 2020. proglašena globalna pandemija. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati ulogu određenih psiholoških čimbenika (percipirana ranjivosti na bolest, desničarska autoritarnosti, orijentacija k socijalnoj dominaciji, zavjerenički mentalitet te povjerenje u institucije i znanost) u predviđanju stigmatizacije oboljelih od koronavirusa. Istraživanje je provedeno u travnju i svibnju 2020. godine. Uzorak je bio prigodan i prikupljen online te se sastojao od 278 sudionika, od toga 233 žene, prosječne dobi 25 godina. Rezultati su pokazali kako percipirana ranjivost na bolest, desničarska autoritarnost, orijentacija k socijalnoj dominaciji te povjerenje u institucije i znanost imaju značajan doprinos u objašnjavanju varijance stigmatizacije oboljelih od koronavirusa, dok se zavjerenički mentalitet nije pokazao statistički značajnim. Ova četiri prediktora zajedno objašnjavaju 33.6 % varijance kriterija. Sve navedene varijable su pozitivni prediktori, a desničarska autoritarnost je najvažniji pojedinačni prediktor.

Abstract (english)

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). First recorded in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019, the virus spread from Wuhan around the world, and on March 11, 2020, a global pandemic was declared. The aim of this study was to examine the role that certain psychological factors (perceived vulnerability to disease, right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, conspiracy mentality and trust in institutions and science) play in predicting the stigmatization of coronavirus patients. The survey was conducted in April and May 2020. The convenience sample was collected online and consisted of 278 participants, of which 233 were, with an average age of 25 years. The results showed that perceived vulnerability to disease, right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and trust in institutions and science all made significant contributions in explaining the variance in stigmatization of coronavirus patients, while conspiracy mentality did not prove significant. Together these four predictors explain 33.6 % of the variance of the criteria. All of the above variables are positive predictors, with right-wing authoritarianism being the most important individual predictor.
