This research takes a maximally inclusive social identity approach to COVID-19 and examines whether the “bond” and “concern” factors of identification with humanity: (1) explain additional variance in health-related behaviors—above and beyond relevant covariates; (2) are uniquely associated with health-related behaviors; and (3) were more strongly associated with health-related behaviors when COVID-19 cases were high. Results (N = 324) suggest the bond and concern factors explained significantly more variance in social distancing, social influencing, overbuying, and marginally more variance in mask wearing. Bond with all humanity uniquely predicted more mask wearing, more social influencing, less social distancing, and more overbuying, and concern for all humanity uniquely predicted more social distancing and less overbuying. However, COVID-19 cases did not consistently moderate associations with health-related behaviors. Overall, identification with humanity has an important role in—and the bond and concern factors have distinct associations with—health-related behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

本研究对 COVID-19 采用最大包容性的社会认同方法，并检验与人类认同的“联系”和“关注”因素是否：（1）解释健康相关行为的额外差异——超出相关协变量；(2) 与健康相关行为唯一相关；(3) 当 COVID-19 病例高时，与健康相关行为的相关性更强。结果 ( N = 324) 表明，在社交距离、社会影响、过度购买和戴口罩方面的差异略微增加时，联系和关注因素解释了显着更多的差异。与全人类的联系独特地预测了更多的面具佩戴、更多的社会影响、更少的社会距离等等过度购买和对全人类的关注独特地预示着更多的社会距离和更少的过度购买。然而，COVID-19 病例并未始终缓和与健康相关行为的关联。总体而言，对人类的认同在 COVID-19 大流行期间的健康相关行为中具有重要作用，而纽带和关注因素与健康相关的行为有着明显的关联。
