Social Psychological Survey of COVID-19: Coronavirus Perceived Threat, Government Response, Impacts, and Experiences Questionnaires
Source: University of MontanaDate Published: 4/13/2020Format: PDFAnnotation: The authors of this eleven-page document developed, factor-analyzed, and validated these questionnaires across three COVID-19 studies. Participants were recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (a common recruitment tool in the social sciences). They were from the United States and came from every region of the U.S. in numbers proportional to the populations in those regions. Newly-selected participants completed the survey once online in a cross-sectional design. The sample had typical Mechanical Turk characteristics for age (range = 20 to 76, mean age = 41), gender (48% female), and race/ethnicity (largest groups were White/European-American = 78%, Asian = 9%, and Black/African-American = 7%). The method they followed was to use Exploratory Factor Analyses in Study 1, then use Confirmatory Factor Analyses in Studies 2 and 3 to hone the questionnaires. They further validated the questionnaires by showing they had expected correlations with other important variables (e.g., political ideology). This work offers researchers a battery of social psychological questionnaires to measure coronavirus-related phenomena for the duration of the pandemic in U.S. participants.
The collection tool includes a sample consent form, research protocol, instruction manual, preliminary testing and pilot data, results, as wells as the Survey/Questionnaire.
