The aim of the present dissertation is to better understand the tension between disease avoidance and interpersonal affiliation, particularly in the context of infectious diseases like COVID-19. It is structured into three chapters, each examining different facets of how disease threats influence human social behavior and perceptions. The first chapter opens with a study analyzing the psychological drivers of social distancing. The study utilizes longitudinal data from two distinct demographic groups during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. It reveals that students' distancing behaviors were primarily motivated by perceived threat, rather than an understanding of the virus, whereas community members' actions were influenced by both their threat perceptions and knowledge. Over time, the influence of knowledge on students' social distancing behaviors grew, highlighting how responses to threats can evolve. The second chapter focuses on the psychological impacts of vaccination. The findings suggest that vaccination changes individuals' risk perceptions; vaccinated individuals felt less at risk themselves but perceived greater risk to unvaccinated others, and were more supportive of lifting restrictions. In contrast, those who were not vaccinated lowered their perceived risk to others without changing their own risk assessment. These differences may be partly explained by the development of distinct group identities based on vaccination status. The third chapter explores the relationship between germ aversion and the structure of social networks. The studies indicate that individuals with higher germ aversion tend to have smaller social networks, prioritizing quality of friendships over quantity. These individuals also set higher standards for friendships and experience lower satisfaction in their friendships when health concerns are prominent. Together, this dissertation shows that disease avoidance significantly shapes social practices, perceptions, and network structures.
