abstract="In this study, we examine the respective effects of prosocial personality and grandiose narcissism on individual social responsibility, and attitudinal and behavioral responses to Covid-19 health and safety preventive measures. We further analyze the extent to which individuals feel targeted by bullies for wearing a mask in order to shed light on the psychological consequences of the current pandemic. We employed a cross-sectional technique using a snowball sampling method to recruit participants from the United States and Canada. We obtained a total of 968 completed surveys. <br><br>RESULTS of SEM reveal that prosocial personality enhances individual social responsibility and positive responses to health and safety preventive measures, whereas grandiose narcissism augments negative responses. <br><br>RESULTS highlight that socially responsible individuals report being bullied for wearing a mask. <br><br>FINDINGS are discussed in light of the characteristics of the respondents, and cultural aspects.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
