Abstract

The RISP model postulates that individuals who process risk information systematically are more likely to hold stronger attitudes associated with the advocated preventive behavior than those who process information heuristically. Therefore, individuals’ attitudes toward risk preventive behavior changed through systematic processing are likely to be persistent over time than those whose attitudes are changed through heuristic processing. To examine this proposition, a two-wave panel study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings support the proposition.
