Description

This data set consists of data on the influence of religious coping, socio-cognitive on information seeking and information sharing on the risk of Covid-19. The total sample size was 479. This area was chosen because at the time of research data collection, this area is classified as a red zone area. The red zone is given to areas that have high covid-19 rates. The survey was carried out by distributing surveys both online and offline. The findings of this study are important because they reveal early on the importance of religious adaptation in seeking information and exchanging information on the risk of COVID-19. Furthermore, it has been shown that some socio-cognitive factors affect the process of information seeking and information sharing.
