This study aimed to investigate the reasons underlying people's willingness to get vaccinated in a sample of Italian adults, considering the effects of different individual characteristics and psychological variables upon positive vs. negative/hesitant vaccination intentions, as well as subjects' self-reported motivations for such intentions.
