Abstract
Novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, emerged in Wuhan China but rapidly spread to other regions in China. This led to the quarantine of Wuhan city, and the recommendation of a number of precautious behaviors by both the World Health organisation (WHO) and the Chinese centre for Disease control (CDC). Mortality salience increases distress (Greenberg et al., 1986), and previous studies reported increased psychological distress during the previous SARS-CoV coronavirus (Lee et al., 2007; Hawryluck et al., 2004). Anxiety can motivate people to adopt preventive measures during a pandemic (Leung et al., 2005). Drawing on health belief models (Weinstein and Nicolich, 1993), research conducted during H1N1 (‘swine flu’) and SARS-CoV positively associated distress with internationally recommended health behaviours (Leung et al., 2005). However, anxiety may also encourage non-recommended, avoidant behaviours (Rubin et al., 2009). To date no empirical study to date has examined associations between psychological distress, quarantine and the use of recommend and non-recommended behaviors. Understanding this may be crucial for comprehending the psychological drivers of important behaviors at a time of national crisis, as well as the avoidance of behaviors with negligible or negative impact on health outcomes.
