In a large-scale pre-registered survey experiment with a representative sample of more than 8000 Americans, we examine how a reminder of the COVID-19 pandemic causally affects people’s views on solidarity and fairness. We randomly manipulate whether respondents are asked general questions about the crisis before answering moral questions. By making the pandemic particularly salient for treated respondents, we provide causal evidence on how the crisis may change moral views. We find that a reminder about the crisis makes respondents more willing to prioritize society’s problems over their own problems, but also more tolerant of inequalities due to luck. We show that people’s moral views are strongly associated with their policy preferences for redistribution. The findings show that the pandemic may alter moral views and political attitudes in the United States and, consequently, the support for redistribution and welfare policies.

危机时刻的团结与公平

在一项针对 8000 多名美国人的代表性样本进行的大规模预先注册调查实验中,我们研究了有关 COVID-19 大流行的提醒如何影响人们对团结和公平的看法。我们随机操纵受访者在回答道德问题之前是否被问及有关危机的一般性问题。通过使这一流行病对接受治疗的受访者尤为突出,我们提供了危机如何改变道德观念的因果证据。我们发现,有关危机的提醒使受访者更愿意将社会问题置于自身问题之上,但也更能容忍运气造成的不平等。我们表明,人们的道德观念与他们的再分配政策偏好密切相关。研究结果表明,疫情可能会改变美国的道德观念和政治态度,从而改变对再分配和福利政策的支持。
