The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological processes of infection control for the novel coronavirus in a training institute of clinical psychology. Twenty trainees completed an online survey about infection control behaviors and related psychological processes. Results indicated that the frequency of talks and communication about infection control drew more attention to information of infection, and led to increased infection control behaviors in the training institute. We discussed the implications for effective infection control and the direction of further studies.
