Multivariate linear regression analyses results suggested that age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, education level, employment status and personal income were all significantly associated with the AMI factors (Table 3). Those aged between 35–65 years, with relatively lower education (i.e. secondary education including O/N level, or below), and being a housewife/homemaker were significantly associated with higher ‘social distancing’; while any ethnicity other than Chinese was significantly associated with lower ‘social distancing’. Female gender, Indian ethnicity, and being unemployed were associated with more ‘tolerance/support for community care’; while lower education, and being a housewife/homemaker were negatively associated. ‘Social restrictiveness’ was positively associated with those aged between 35–65 years, education level lower than university, and being a housewife/homemaker; while negatively associated with being a female, Malay or Indian ethnicity, and being a student. Lastly, ‘prejudice and misconception’, was positively associated with those aged 50–65 years, Malay or Indian ethnicity, education level lower than university, and a monthly income less than SGD 2,000; on the other hand, it was negatively associated with female gender, never married, and being a student or unemployed.
