信息传递和性别对佩戴面部覆盖物以减缓COVID-19传播的影响
The effect of messaging and gender on intentions to wear a face covering to slow down COVID-19 transmission
摘要：
现在，各个国家正在或即将放宽就地避难规则，重要的是人们使用面部覆盖物，以避免冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19）传播的指数复苏。在这里，我们报告了一个预先注册的在线实验（N= 2，459），使用了一个异质的，但不具有代表性的，生活在美国的人的样本，在那里我们测试了强调冠状病毒对“你”、“你的家庭”、“你的社区”、“你的国家”的威胁的信息对自我报告的戴口罩的意图的相对影响。结果表明，专注于“你的社区”促进了相对于基线佩戴面部覆盖物的意图;当将“你的社区”与其他条件进行比较时，趋势是相同的，但不显著。我们还进行了预先登记的性别差异的分析，意图戴口罩。我们发现，男性比女性更不愿意戴口罩，但在强制戴口罩的县，这种差异几乎消失。我们还发现，男性比女性更不相信他们会受到冠状病毒的严重影响，这在一定程度上介导了戴口罩的意图的性别差异（这特别具有讽刺意味，因为官方统计数据实际上显示男性比女性更严重地受到COVID-19的影响）。最后，我们还发现戴面罩时自我报告的负面情绪存在性别差异。男性比女性更同意戴面罩是可耻的，不酷，是软弱的标志，是耻辱;这些性别差异也介导了戴面罩的意图的性别差异。
英文摘要：
Now that various countries are or will soon be moving towards relaxing shelter-in-place rules, it is important that people use a face covering, to avoid an exponential resurgence of the spreading of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Here we report a pre-registered online experiment (N=2,459) using a heterogenous, although not representative, sample of people living in the USA, where we test the relative effect of messages highlighting that the coronavirus is a threat to "you" vs "your family" vs "your community" vs "your country" on self-reported intentions to wear a face covering. Results show that focusing on "your community" promotes intentions to wear a face covering relative to the baseline; the trend is the same when comparing "your community" to the other conditions, but not significant. We also conducted pre-registered analyses of gender differences on intentions to wear a face covering. We find that men less than women intend to wear a face covering, but this difference almost disappears in counties where wearing a face covering is mandatory. We also find that men less than women believe that they will be seriously affected by the coronavirus, and this partly mediates gender differences in intentions to wear a face covering (this is particularly ironic because official statistics actually show that men are affected by the COVID-19 more seriously than women). Finally, we also find gender differences in self-reported negative emotions felt when wearing a face covering. Men more than women agree that wearing a face covering is shameful, not cool, a sign of weakness, and a stigma; and these gender differences also mediate gender differences in intentions to wear a face covering.
