Hypothesis: Research suggests that the level of risk influences decision making, regardless of the probability of that outcome occurring. You are interested in how this may be relevant to vaccine hesitancy. Therefore, you administered a vaccine hesitancy questionnaire to a sample of people who self-identify as being vaccine-hesitant.

Higher scores indicate more hesitancy to take a vaccine. You hypothesized that vaccine-hesitant people are less likely to take the COVID-19 vaccine because of the well-publicized risk of cardiac arrest, even though the likelihood of this occurring is very small, relative to taking the flu vaccine, where there are no known serious side effects. Furthermore, you hypothesized that vaccine hesitancy will be negatively related to health-related anxiety. Lastly, you hypothesized that women will be less likely to take the COVID-19 vaccine than men.
