ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effect of conspiracy ideation, moral disengagement, and intolerance of uncertainty on compliance with the anti-SARS-COV-2 social distancing rules and two other facets of people’s reactions toward the coronavirus crisis. A convenience sample of 245 Romanians completed an online survey in March 2020. Results indicate that conspiracy ideation is associated with lower assessments of virus risk and lower compliance with the confinement measures. Moral disengagement had a parallel effect of undermining personal compliance to the social distancing regulations, highlighting the need to define social distancing as morally relevant and prevent individual justifications for noncompliance.

摘要

这项研究调查了阴谋观念、道德脱离和对不确定性的不容忍对遵守抗 SARS-COV-2 社会疏离规则的影响，以及人们对冠状病毒危机反应的其他两个方面。245 名罗马尼亚人的便利样本于 2020 年 3 月完成了一项在线调查。结果表明，阴谋观念与对病毒风险的较低评估和对限制措施的较低遵守有关。道德脱离接触具有破坏个人对社会疏离规定的遵守的平行影响，强调需要将社会疏离定义为道德相关，并防止个人为不遵守规定辩护。
