We just had a #RegisteredReport get an "in principle acceptance" from @peercommunityin! https://osf.io/p5sjb

This is my first first-authored RR, along with brilliant colleagues Eilin Erevik & Sebastian Bjørkheim. We are going to test whether #big5personality measures taken before the pandemic predict COVID-19 #RiskPerception and #HealthBehaviour during the pandemic.

I'm enthusiastic about the RR format, and I look forward to running the analysis and completing the report!

About a year into the pandemic we asked people standing in line for COVID-19 testing about how they had thought about risk and precautions before they sought testing. Compared to a representative sample, the test-station sample had seen the risk as lower, had more frequently been in potentially infectious situations, and they had complied less with infection control measures.
