Thanks for your concern! But I sort of let it happen on purpose, it was the push I needed to get out of those services, and I'm glad I'm out of there now.
Earlier this summer I received a warning from Meta Quest that my 19 year old account was being used by a child.* They wanted me to confirm my age by sending them a photo of a government ID or credit card, which I was reluctant to do. Hence they suspended my Facebook, Instagram and Messenger account, I let the reactivation period lapse. I'm actually glad it happened, this was the push I needed to de-Facebook my life. Luckily I had already downloaded and deleted most of my data from the services. * I still don't know what caused this, it could be that my kids' use of a Quest headset on my account was analyzed in some way.

We found support for the most supported associations in the literature, that conscientiousness <-> compliance and neuroticism <-> perceived risk. Other associations occasionally seen in the literature were less strongly indicated, and there were some novel discoveries. (thread 5/5)

The #OSF online #preregistration form is difficult to use for drafting (lacking tools for collaboration, commenting, track changes, version history). We use this Word file that matches the online form for drafting, and past into the OSF webpage when completed: osf.io/ufzra Please reuse! #OpenScience
First page of the Word-file mentioned in the post, showing leading texts and response boxes that match the online preregistration form on OSF.

We compared perceived risk, behaviour and compliance of early covid patients with that of other types of patients and the general public.
Screenshot from article in question. Title: Perceived infection risk, infection exposure, and compliance to infection control measures among the first COVID-19 patients in Norway Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity to assess how infected patients viewed risk. We investigated whether cases infected early in the pandemic had assessed the risk to be lower, been more exposed and took fewer precautions to prevent infection. Methods: We asked first-wave Norwegian COVID-19 patients (n = 88) to recall how they had thought about risk of infection, exposure in potential infectious situations and their compliance to infection control measures early in the pandemic. Answers from this group were compared WITH emergency room patients with non-pulmonary complaints (n = 75) and with a nationally representative sample (n = 4083). Results: Both patient groups saw the risk as lower than did the representative sample. Contact with infected people was more frequent for the COVID-19 patients than for the other patients. More of the COVID-19 patients had travelled abroad immediately before the outbreak. COVID-19 patients complied less with the infection control measures than did the representative sample. The COVID-19 patients agreed less than the other patients with a statement that they had ‘complied in general’. Conclusions: Risk-behaviour was overrepresented among the first COVID-19 patients. Potential memory artefacts should be considered when interpreting the results.
