Abstract

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the causal pattern of the relationship between personality variables and coronavirus-related health attitudes mediated by the internal locus of control and the moderating role of self-esteem in students.
Method: The sample participants comprised 150 students of varying educational levels who completed the Health Behavior, Health Attitude, Internal Locus of Control, risk-taking, self-esteem, and conscientiousness and neuroticism questionnaires online and through messaging applications (Telegram & WhatsApp). To analyze data, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to measure the fitness of the model and examine direct relationships. The mediator relationship was measured via Bootstrap, and the moderator relations were analyzed with hierarchical regression.
Results: The results showed that the model fit well with the data, and all direct relationships, except the relationship between risk-taking and health attitudes, were confirmed. The findings also confirmed the mediating role of the internal locus of control in the relationship between personality traits and health attitudes. The results further indicated the moderating role of self-esteem in the relationship between the internal locus of control and students' health attitudes. In other words, the relationship between the internal locus of control and health attitudes in students with higher self-esteem is stronger than the relationship in which students reported lower self-esteem.
Conclusion: The results also confirmed the moderating role of self-esteem in the relationship between neuroticism and students' health attitudes. In other words, the relationship between neuroticism and health attitudes in students with lower self-esteem is stronger than the relationship in which students reported higher self-esteem.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف از پژوهش حاضر، بررسی رابطه علی متغیرهای شخصیتی با نگرش بهداشتی مرتبط با کویید 19 در دانشجویان بود. اعضای نمونه 150 نفر از دانشجویان مقاطع مختلف تحصیلی بودند که به صورت اینترنتی و از طریق شبکه‌های اجتماعی (تلگرام و واتساپ) پرسشنامه‌های رفتار بهداشتی، نگرش بهداشتی، جایگاه مهار درونی، مخاطره‌جویی، عزت نفس و وظیفه‌شناسی و روان‌نژندی را تکمیل کردند. جهت تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌ها از آزمون معادلات ساختاری برای سنجش برازش مدل و بررسی روابط مستقیم استفاده گردید. همچنین برای سنجش روابط میانجیگری از بوت‌استرپ در برنامه مایکرو و هیز (2008) و جهت سنجش روابط تعدیل گر از رگرسیون سلسله‌مراتبی استفاده گردید. نتایج حاکی از برازش خوب مدل با داده‌ها بود (09/0=RMSEA، 85/0=IFI و مقدار مجذور کای نسبی=71/1) و تمام روابط مستقیم به غیر از رابطه مخاطره‌جویی با نگرش بهداشتی تائید گردید. یافته‌ها همچنین نقش میانجیگری جایگاه مهار درونی را در رابطه بین ویژگی شخصیتی و نگرش بهداشتی تائید کردند. در ادامه نتایج حاکی از نقش تعدیل‌کنندگی عزت نفس در رابطه بین جایگاه مهار درونی با نگرش بهداشتی دانشجویان بود. به‌عبارت‌دیگر، رابطه بین جایگاه مهار درونی با نگرش بهداشتی در دانشجویانی که عزت نفس بالاتری داشتند قوی‌تر از رابطه‌ای بود که در آن دانشجویان عزت نفس پایین‌تری را گزارش داده‌اند. همچنین نتایج نقش تعدیل‌کنندگی عزت نفس را در رابطه بین روان‌نژندی با نگرش بهداشتی دانشجویان تائید کردند. به عبارتی، رابطه بین روان‌نژندی با نگرش بهداشتی در دانشجویانی که عزت نفس پایین‌تری داشتند قوی‌تر از رابطه‌ای بود که در آن دانشجویان عزت نفس بالاتری را گزارش داده‌اند.
