At the beginning of 2020,the novel coronavirus swept across the country.During the Class A management period of the COVID-19,in order to timely and effectively block the spread of the virus,the relevant departments would collect personal information and analyzed the action tracks of the confirmed patients,close contacts and so on through data traceability.It could be seen that timely and effective disclosure of personal information by the public was essential to achieve effective prevention and control of the COVID-19.However,during the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic,some people escaped disclosure of their personal information.If the public did not disclose relevant information according to the requirements,the safety of people’s lives and property would be severely threatened,caused great trouble and obstruction to the epidemic prevention work,and caused extremely bad impact on the society.In addition to the COVID-19,in recent years,human beings have also suffered from a number of sudden public health crises,such as SARS in2003 and influenza A(H1N1)in 2009.Therefore,this study takes the COVID-19 as an example to explore the influencing factors of the public’s behavior of evading the disclosure of personal information under the sudden public health crisis,and puts forward suggestions,in order to deal with similar public health emergencies in the future.Firstly,this study used the LDA theme model to analyse and extract the relevant influencing factors of the public’s evading disclosure of personal information from the relevant microblog comments,and then combined TPB and PMT to build the influencing factor model of the public’s evading disclosure of personal information.Then questionnaires were designed on the result of LDA theme model and obtained through online surveys.After that these data were analyzed by SPSS software and AMOS software to obtain descriptive statistics,the reliability and validity of these data,the results of hypothesis testing and the path coefficients between various influencing factors.Finally,personal management suggestions were put forward based on above analyse.According to the analysis,behavioral intentions are directly,greatly and positively influenced by behavioral attitudes,risks of the disclosure of personal information,while greatly and negatively influenced by the potential cost of avoidance of disclosure.Behavioral attitudes are greatly and directly influenced by subjective norms and perceived behavioral control.Among all the standardized direct effect,subjective norms’ direct effect on behavioral attitudes is the most substantial,followed by the direct effect of perceived behavior control on behavioral attitudes.Compared to other factors,behavioral attitudes have the greatest effect on behavioral intentions,followed by response cost,risks,subjective norms and perceived behavior control one by one.Compared with perceived behavior control,subjective norms are easier to promote people’s behavioral intentions than perceived behavioral control.To sum up,the public’s behavioral intentions are the most likely to be affected by behavioral attitudes,followed by subjective norms,response costs one by one,while it can not be influenced by perceived behavioral control obviously.Based on the conclusions of data analyse,personal management suggestions were made from the perspective of correcting the public’s attitudes toward disclosure of personal information,reducing the public’s subjective norms of evading the disclosure of personal information,reducing the public’s perceived behavior control over the implementation of evading the disclosure of personal information,and reducing the public’s perception of the threats and risks that the disclosure of personal epidemic prevention information may bring,and increasing the cost of public evading the disclosure of personal information,in order to help the government to respond to the sudden public health crisis.
