Abstract

Existential positive psychologists have championed the value of self-transcendence in alleviating the pain and suffering in COVID-19 pandemic. This two-part study reviewed the interrelationship of self-transcendence with people’s confidence in government, democracy, and vaccination intention. Although the findings suggested that confidence in government strongly influenced people’s vaccination intention, self-transcendence took an undermining role in the process. This intricate relationship may help institutions to shape communication strategies for coping with COVID and future health crises.
