Abstract

This study aims to determine the predictive power of risk perception and anticipated regret on health behavior under uncertainty in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted utilizing a predictive-correlational design and survey method to 224 Indonesian (156 women, 68 men; Mage = 37 years old). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that risk perception has greater weight than anticipated regret in predicting health behavior. Additionally, mediation analysis showed that risk perception can partially mediate the prediction relationship between anticipated regret and health behavior.
