Abstract

Hyper-health bias, a tendency to overly rely on the body’s ability to cope with diseases, has been linked to personality traits such as risk-taking and trait anxiety in previous studies. This study, which aimed to examine the relationships between hyper-health bias, trait anxiety, risk-taking, and coping styles in Arab society following the COVID-19 pandemic, has yielded significant findings. The study’s novelty lies in its integrated approach, combining psychological factors with cultural considerations and technology-enhanced interventions for minority populations. Through a methodology involving 259 Arab Israeli citizens using validated questionnaires (DOSPERT, STAI-T, MBSS, and HHP), data was collected pre-vaccination in December 2020. The findings showed connections between personality traits and health behaviors. They highlighted the influence of variables such as gender, risk-taking, and level of religiosity on health behavior during the COVID-19 period. These findings have theoretical and practical implications for dealing with health threats, providing actionable insights for policymakers and healthcare professionals. This equips them with the knowledge to make informed decisions and strategies in public health.
