Viral Threat Perception Questionnaire Test

pandemic

The measure assesses an individual’s perceptions and affective responses to infectious disease risk, including perceived severity, concern, and perceived impact on daily functioning. The Viral Threat Perception Questionnaire is designed to support structured self-report assessment of threat appraisal and related attitudes.

It consists of 33 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete. Items query emotional reactions, beliefs about the magnitude and seriousness of viral threat, attitudes toward public health measures, and self-reported behavioral adaptation.

When used in clinical or research settings, the Viral Threat Perception Questionnaire can help characterize perceived threat and associated response patterns that may be relevant to stress, coping, and adherence-related behaviors. Paul Slovic is listed as the author.
