Abstract

This study aimed at examining how reflective thinking skills mediated one’s perception of COVID-19 related information. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, much information related to the novel Coronavirus was made available by the responsible parties, yet, falsehoods were also circulating much, which confuses people. Anxious individuals with low reflective thinking skills tend to respond fast to the information leading to low accuracy or even inaccuracy in perceiving information. On the other hand, individuals with anxiety yet having high reflective thinking skills will carefully select and consider the available information so they can perceive it better. This study was qualitative involving 260 students coming from different provinces of Indonesia. Data were analyzed using a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis; the analysis was done twice for the high and low Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) groups. Different from our prediction, the findings showed that for both groups, anxiety had no significant direct effect on the accuracy of their perception. Also, reflective thinking skills had no significant direct effect on the accuracy of their perception. It can be concluded that reflective thinking skills did not mediate the effect of perception accuracy of COVID-19 related information.
