| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to present a model for the determinants of pandemic-related trust among Egyptian youth in a later stage of the pandemic. Researcher-administered questionnaires were completed with a total of 610 respondents ranging in age from 18 to 39 years old. Findings highlighted eight main determinants of pandemic-related trust. Positive correlations were found with: perception of governmental officials televised communication’s effectiveness; preference for a pro-government stance; evaluation of the governmental response to the pandemic; certainty about the contemporary strains; pandemic-related knowledge; and experiencing health hardships amid the pandemic. However, negative correlations were found between pandemic-related trust and both risk perception for contracting the virus and pandemic conspiracy belief. | ||
