TL;DR: The findings indicate that the FCV-19S has a somewhat problematic structure, yet the one-factor solution is replicable across cultural contexts and could be used in studies that compare people who vary on gender and educational level, especially in cross-cultural comparisons.

Motivated Helplessness in the Coronavirus Pandemic: Experimental Evidence that Perceived Helplessness to Avoid the Virus Reduces Fear of Covid-19
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors tested if manipulated perceived helplessness to avoid the virus using bogus messages (high, low or moderate helplessness) would reduce fear of COVID-19, state anxiety, and motivation for protective actions.

Parental motivated helplessness in vaccinating children against COVID-19: Its association with fear, effectiveness and willingness to vaccinate
TL;DR: According to the motivated helplessness hypothesis, parental feelings of helplessness regarding vaccinating children against COVID-19 may serve a protective function against vaccine fear and hesitancy as discussed by the authors .

Abstract: Research on national identity distinguishes between national glorification and attachment.Wetestedwhetherglorificationandattachmentdifferentiallypredictedsupport for military and diplomatic conflict resolution strategies (CRS) in response to international conflicts. Using data collected in seven countries (Australia, United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Israel, China; total N = 1784), we investigated whether glorification and attachment can be equivalently measured (using tests of measurementinvariance)andwhethertheirrelationshipswithCRSweregeneralizable across countries. The results revealed metric, but not scalar, measurement invariance of the two-factor structure of national identification across six countries, excluding China. Among these six countries, glorification predicted more support for military CRS, whereas attachment predicted more support for diplomatic CRS. Our study is novel in scrutinizing the cross-cultural generalizability of the bi-dimensional model of national identification. Implications for studying national identification and intergroup conflict cross-culturally are discussed.
Motivated helplessness in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence for a curvilinear relationship between perceived ability to avoid the virus and anxiety
TL;DR: This article found a curvilinear relationship between feeling helpless to avoid being infected with the COVID-19 pandemic and self-reported anxiety and found that individuals who reported either low or high degrees of helplessness reported less anxiety and fear of being infected by the virus compared to those who reported moderate levels of helpless feeling.
