Little is known about how different government communication strategies may systematically affect people’s attitudes to staying home or going out during the COVID-19 pandemic, nor how people perceive and process the risk of viral transmission in different scenarios. In this study, we report results from two experiments that examine the degree to which people’s attitudes regarding the permissibility of leaving one’s home are (1) sensitive to different levels of risk of viral transmission in specific scenarios, (2) sensitive to communication framings that are either imperative or that emphasize personal responsibility, or (3) creating ‘loopholes’ for themselves, enabling a more permissive approach to their own compliance. We find that the level of risk influences attitudes to going out, and that participants report less permissive attitudes to going out when prompted with messages framed in imperative terms, rather than messages emphasizing personal responsibility; for self-loopholes, we find no evidence that participants’ attitudes towards going out in specific scenarios are more permissive for themselves than for others. However, participants report they are more rigorous in staying home than others, which may cause moral licensing. Additionally, we find that age is negatively associated with permissive attitudes, and that male participants are more permissive to going out. Thus, during phases where it is important to promote staying home for all scenarios, including those perceived to be low-risk, imperative communication may be best suited to increase compliance.

COVID-19 期间的风险感知、虚幻的优越感和个人责任:对待在家里态度的实验研究

关于不同的政府沟通策略如何系统地影响人们在 COVID-19 大流行期间呆在家里或外出的态度,以及人们如何看待和处理不同情况下的病毒传播风险,我们知之甚少。在这项研究中,我们报告了两个实验的结果,这些实验检验了人们对允许离开家的态度在多大程度上(1)对特定情况下不同程度的病毒传播风险敏感,(2)对传播框架的敏感度要么是必要的,要么是强调个人责任的,或者 (3) 为自己制造“漏洞”,从而使自己的合规性变得更加宽容。我们发现风险程度会影响外出的态度,与强调个人责任的信息相比,参与者报告在提示信息时对外出的态度较不宽容;对于自我漏洞,我们没有发现任何证据表明参与者在特定场景下对外出的态度对自己比对他人更宽容。然而,参与者报告说他们比其他人更严格地待在家里,这可能会导致道德许可。此外,我们发现年龄与宽容态度呈负相关,男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。而不是强调个人责任的信息;对于自我漏洞,我们没有发现任何证据表明参与者在特定场景下对外出的态度对自己比对他人更宽容。然而,参与者报告说他们比其他人更严格地待在家里,这可能会导致道德许可。此外,我们发现年龄与宽容态度呈负相关,男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。而不是强调个人责任的信息;对于自我漏洞,我们没有发现任何证据表明参与者在特定场景下对外出的态度对自己比对他人更宽容。然而,参与者报告说他们比其他人更严格地待在家里,这可能会导致道德许可。此外,我们发现年龄与宽容态度呈负相关,男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。我们没有发现任何证据表明参与者在特定情况下对外出的态度对自己比对其他人更宽容。然而,参与者报告说他们比其他人更严格地待在家里,这可能会导致道德许可。此外,我们发现年龄与宽容态度呈负相关,男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。我们没有发现任何证据表明参与者在特定情况下对外出的态度对自己比对其他人更宽容。然而,参与者报告说他们比其他人更严格地待在家里,这可能会导致道德许可。此外,我们发现年龄与宽容态度呈负相关,男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。并且男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。并且男性参与者更愿意外出。因此,在所有情况下(包括那些被认为是低风险的情况)都提倡待在家里很重要的阶段,强制性沟通可能最适合提高合规性。
