Abstract：
In the face of infectious disease outbreaks, the collective behavior of a society can has a profound impact on the course of the epidemic. This study investigates the instantaneous social dilemma presented by individuals\' attitudes toward vaccine behavior and its influence on social distancing as a critical component in disease control strategies. The research employs a multifaceted approach, combining modeling techniques and simulation to comprehensively assess the dynamics between social distancing attitudes and vaccine uptake during disease outbreaks. With respect to modeling, we introduce a new vaccination game (VG) where, unlike conventional VG models, a 2-player and 2-strategy payoff structure is aptly embedded in the individual behavior dynamics. Individuals\' willingness to adhere to social distancing measures, such as mask-wearing and physical distancing, is strongly associated with their inclination to receive vaccines. The study reveals that a positive attitude towards social distancing tends to align with a higher likelihood of vaccine acceptance, ultimately contributing to more effective disease control. As the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated, swift and coordinated public health measures are essential to curbing the spread of infectious diseases. This study underscores the urgency of addressing the instantaneous social dilemma posed by individuals\' attitudes. By understanding the intricate relationship between these factors, policymakers, and healthcare professionals can develop tailored strategies to promote both social distancing compliance and vaccine acceptance, thereby enhancing our ability to control and mitigate the impact of disease outbreaks in the future.
摘要：
面对传染病的爆发,社会的集体行为会对流行病的进程产生深远的影响。这项研究调查了个人对疫苗行为的态度所表现出的瞬时社会困境及其对社会距离的影响，这是疾病控制策略的关键组成部分。这项研究采用了多方面的方法，结合建模技术和模拟，以全面评估疾病爆发期间社会距离态度和疫苗摄取之间的动态。关于建模，我们引入了一个新的疫苗接种游戏（VG），与传统的VG模型不同，2-玩家和2-策略的回报结构被恰当地嵌入到个人行为动态中。个人愿意坚持社会疏远措施，比如戴口罩和身体上的距离，与他们接受疫苗的倾向密切相关。研究表明，对社交距离的积极态度倾向于与疫苗接受的可能性更高。最终有助于更有效的疾病控制。正如COVID-19大流行所表明的那样，迅速和协调的公共卫生措施对于遏制传染病的传播至关重要。这项研究强调了解决个人态度所带来的瞬时社会困境的紧迫性。通过了解这些因素之间的复杂关系，政策制定者，医疗保健专业人员可以制定量身定制的策略，以促进社会距离合规性和疫苗接受度，从而增强我们控制和减轻未来疾病爆发影响的能力。
