Resumo

The article aims to analyze young people's perceptions of state measures taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study assesses attitudes toward three main preventive measures: self-isolation, mandatory masking, and vaccination campaigns. The study uses a mixed-method approach combining quantitative survey data and qualitative focused interviews to gather comprehensive evidence. The study involved 161 students from higher education institutions and specialized secondary institutions in Primorsky Krai (Russia), including the cities of Vladivostok, Nakhodka, and Ussuriysk. The data suggest that cognitive biases, misinformation, and a preference for personal comfort over safety significantly influence adherence to these public health measures. The study identifies two distinct subgroups among young people: a passive group who complied with vaccination under external pressure from authorities and an active group distinguished by more informed and rational decision-making concerning health and safety
