The objective of this research was to examine the relationships between compliance with protective behaviors, the perception of risk of COVID-19 and the five personality traits in adults from Cajamarca. Likewise, as a specific objective, it was proposed to describe the differences in protective behaviors and risk perception according to sociodemographic characteristics. Participants were 193 emerging adults between the ages of 18 and 29 (M = 22; SD = 3.35) of both sexes. Three instruments were applied: protective behavior scale (Savadori & Lauriola, 2021), risk perception scale (Savadori & Lauriola, 2021) and the BIF (Benet- Martínez and John, 1998). Regarding the general objective, it was found that risk perception and awareness predicted total protection behaviors. Specifically, behaviors to promote hygiene and cleanliness had three predictors: risk perception, awareness, and openness. Behaviors to avoid social closeness had only one predictor: awareness. Likewise, it was found that age was correlated with risk perception and that the number of social gatherings was negatively correlated with protective behaviors and with its two dimensions. Differences were also found according to sex in risk perception and protective behaviors. Likewise, differences were found according to the severity of the symptoms and the number of vaccinations. Finally, the possible explanations for these findings are discussed, the limitations of the present investigation are mentioned, and recommendations for future studies are proposed.
