This article presents logistic models examining how pandemic anxiety and COVID-19 comprehension vary with digital confidence among adults in the United States during the first wave of the pandemic. As we demonstrate statistically with a nationally representative data set, the digitally confident have lower probability of experiencing physical manifestations of pandemic anxiety and higher probability of adequately comprehending critical information on COVID-19. The effects of digital confidence on both pandemic anxiety and COVID-19 comprehension persist, even after a broad range of potentially confounding factors are taken into account, including sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, metropolitan status, and partner status. They also remain discernable after the introduction of general anxiety, as well as income and education. These results offer evidence that the digitally disadvantaged experience greater vulnerability to the secondary effects of the pandemic in the form of increased somatized stress and decreased COVID-19 comprehension. Going forward, future research and policy must make an effort to address digital confidence and digital inequality writ large as crucial factors mediating individuals’ responses to the pandemic and future crises.

COVID连接:大流行性焦虑,COVID-19理解和数字信心

本文提供了逻辑模型,用于研究在大流行的第一波期间,美国成年人之间的大流行性焦虑和COVID-19理解如何随着数字信心而变化。正如我们用具有全国代表性的数据集进行的统计证明那样,数字上的把握会降低出现大流行性焦虑症物理表现的可能性,而能够充分理解COVID-19上的关键信息的可能性则更高。即使在考虑了广泛的潜在混杂因素之后,数字信心对大流行性焦虑和COVID-19理解的影响仍然存在,包括社会人口统计学因素,例如年龄,性别,种族/民族,大都会身份和伴侣状态。引入一般性焦虑症后,他们仍然可以辨别,以及收入和教育。这些结果提供了证据,表明处于数字不利地位的人以更大的躯体压力和降低的COVID-19理解力形式,更容易遭受大流行的次要影响。展望未来,未来的研究和政策必须努力解决数字信心和数字不平等问题,因为这是调解个人对大流行和未来危机的反应的关键因素。
