SPSS statistics 22. Descriptive statistics were applied to demonstrate the
demographic characteristics, COVID-19 preventive behaviors, and IDSHL. One-way
ANOVA (analysis of variance) was adopted to compare the differences among
demographic groups, and the Student-Newman-Keuls method was applied to compare
the differences among subgroups if a significant difference was found. The
Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationships among
IDSHL, COVID-19 preventive behaviors, and their predictors, which are continuous
variables.
Path analysis was implemented by IBM SPSS Amos 26 Graphics. Maximum likelihood
estimation was conducted to evaluate the parameters with the covariance matrix.
The path model was modified according to the P regression
weight, modification indicators, and goodness-of-fit indexes (GFIs). Only
variables with significant P values (less than .05) remained in
the model. A comparative fit index ≥0.90 and root mean square error of
approximation <0.06 means that the fit was acceptable.19
