Cover Story: We hypothesized that highlighting different aspects of data on the effectiveness of vaccines would influence university students’ willingness and attitudes to vaccinate. We administered two versions of a survey to a convenience sample of students from three universities in Italy and manipulated how information was framed. In the first version, salience was placed on the effectiveness of the vaccine in terms of reducing the probability of infection. In the second version, salience was placed on the effectiveness of the vaccine in terms of reducing the probability of hospitalization after being infected by COVID-19. The results confirmed our hypothesis: participants reported being more willing to become vaccinated when exposed to the hospitalization frame. We found mixed effects of the frame on the following sub-dimensions: reliability, trust, protection, safety, and confidence. View this paper
