Compliance and Social Norms

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided the opportunity to investigate factors that affect compliance with public health measures at the individual- and country level. This is an extension of the pre-registered study: Living a year with the COVID-19 pandemic: COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey Round II (https://osf.io/pg3h8), with additional planned analyses as described below (Vestergren et al., 2021). This pre-registration focuses on the hypotheses and analyses related to social norms and compliance (i.e., H2 in Vestergren et al., 2021). In particular, we are investigating the factors that impact compliance, including social norms, trust, stress, demographic factors, and moral values. We are also interested in differences in compliance across countries.
