Data were analyzed using SPSS.
Results: According to the results of the study, about 67% of people over 75 adhered to the principles of quarantine and 72% adhered to the same guidelines. On the other hand, the results showed that in both fields (adherence to quarantine at the level of 0.06 and observance of instructions 0.001 were significant) women had higher scores than men. Accordingly, the urban population had a higher score than the rural population in the amount of investment to fight the corona and follow the announcement of the trustees. In terms of investment, married people had a higher score (significance 0.04). Regarding age, only the rate of participation in voluntary activities by the group of 20 to 35 years was almost significantly different (0.06). The results correspondingly revealed that the literacy variable in these behaviors, especially the willingness to invest (significant 0.03) and following the instructions of trustees (0.04) had a significant difference which had higher scores in both doctoral and higher literacy. In the field of job variability, the results indicated that the treatment staff reported the highest score in adherence to the principles. In addition, no significant relationship was observed between personality traits and adherence to the two mentioned issues.
