Understanding face mask use to prevent coronavirus and other illnesses: Development of a multidimensional face mask perceptions scale 2020-06-26 .txt text/plain 3719 230 51 We argue that the current results can be broadly framed in the COM-B model (Michie et al., 2011) , but future researchers should also apply more specific theories (Arden & Chilcot, 2020; Bish & Michie, 2010; Teasdale et al., 2012) to develop interventions and encourage face mask wearing via perceptual change. The FMPS can encourage researchers to integrate face mask wearing with studies on protective behavioursespecially those focusing on the importance of perceptions as done in the current article. Such findings can provide an approach to study face mask wearing, wherein the eight dimensions identified in the current article can be incorporated into associated frameworks and the FMPS can be used as an indicator of intervention effectiveness. To ensure that an adequate scope of face mask perceptions was assessed in the FMPS while being reasonably concise, we developed items for categories with more than a 10% frequency in participants' qualitative responses for either personal or public perceptions. ./cache/cord-288354-7ruoysxu.txt ./txt/cord-288354-7ruoysxu.txt
