Cover Story: This study aimed to understand how undergraduate students’ beliefs correlated with their behaviors. In this study, we designed a 5-item screener to measure Mind–Body Health beliefs, investigated the screener’s psychometric properties, and then evaluated how students’ self-reported beliefs on Mind–Body Health related to their practices during COVID-19 in 2020, a time where Mind–Body Health practices were vital to ensuring mental and physical well-being during a stressful and unprecedented global event. Results indicated that after COVID-19, students’ Mind–Body Health behaviors reduced, and subsequently illustrate how the Cognitive Dissonance Theory is a relevant perspective to consider the relation between health beliefs and behaviors during a period of immense stress an uncertainty. View this paper
