2.3.1. Attitudes and Moods about the New Coronavirus

This scale was developed by the authors in order to investigate the attitudes and moods of respondents about the new coronavirus through items such as, for example, "The Coronavirus is a mysterious and highly lethal virus capable of decimating the world's population" or "The mass media have generated an exaggerated alarm about the real dangers of the Coronavirus". The 8 items on the scale were evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale, from "Completely disagree" (1) to "Completely agree" (5).
