Abstract summary
With the COVID-19 pandemic, behavioural scientists aimed to illuminate reasons why people comply with (or not) large-scale cooperative activities. Here we investigated the motives that underlie support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours in a sample of 12,758 individuals from 34 countries. We hypothesized that the associations of empathic prosocial concern and fear of disease with support towards preventive COVID-19 behaviours would be moderated by trust in the government. Results suggest that the association between fear of disease and support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours was strongest when trust in the government was weak (both at individual- and country-level). Conversely, the association with empathic prosocial concern was strongest when trust in the government was high, but this moderation was only found at individual-level scores of governmental trust. We discuss how motivations may be shaped by socio-cultural context, and outline how findings may contribute to a better understanding of collective action during global crises.Authors & Co-authors: Karakulak Arzu A Tepe Beyza B Dimitrova Radosveta R Abdelrahman Mohamed M Akaliyski Plamen P Alaseel Rana R Alkamali Yousuf Abdulqader YA Amin Azzam A Lizarzaburu Aguinaga Danny A DA Andres Andrii A Aruta John Jamir Benzon R JJBR Assiotis Marios M Avanesyan Hrant H Ayub Norzihan N Bacikova-Sleskova Maria M Baikanova Raushan R Bakkar Batoul B Bartoluci Sunčica S Benitez David D Bodnar Ivanna I Bolatov Aidos A Borchet Judyta J Bosnar Ksenija K Broche-Pérez Yunier Y Buzea Carmen C Cassibba Rosalinda R Carbonell Marta Martín MM Chen Bin-Bin BB Dimitrovska Gordana Ristevska GR Công Doanh Dương D Dominguez Espinosa Alejandra Del Carmen ADC Edine Wassim Gharz WG Ferenczi Nelli N Fernández-Morales Regina R Gaete Jorge J Gan Yiqun Y Giolo Suely S Giordani Rubia Carla Formighieri RCF Friehs Maria-Therese MT Gindi Shahar S Gjoneska Biljana B Godoy Juan Carlos JC Del Pilar Grazioso Maria M Hancheva Camellia C Hapunda Given G Hihara Shogo S Husain Mohd Saiful MS Islam Md Saiful MS Janovská Anna A Javakhishvili Nino N Jovanović Veljko V Kabir Russell Sarwar RS Abdul Kadir Nor Ba'yah NB Karl Johannes J Katović Darko D Kauyzbay Zhumaly Z Kawashima Tinka Delakorda TD Kazmierczak Maria M Khanna Richa R Khosla Meetu M Klicperová-Baker Martina M Kozina Ana A Krauss Steven Eric SE Landabur Rodrigo R Lefringhausen Katharina K Lewandowska-Walter Aleksandra A Liang Yun-Hsia YH Makashvili Ana A Malik Sadia S Manrique-Millones Denisse D Mastrotheodoros Stefanos S McGrath Breeda B Mechili Enkeleint A EA Mejía Marinés M Mhizha Samson S Michalek-Kwiecien Justyna J Miconi Diana D Mohsen Fatema F Moreta-Herrera Rodrigo R Muhl Camila C Muradyan Maria M Musso Pasquale P Naterer Andrej A Nemat Arash A Neto Felix F Neto Joana J Palacio Luz Marina Alonso LMA Okati-Aliabad Hassan H Orellana Carlos Iván CI Orellana Ligia María LM Mishra Sushanta Kumar SK Park Joonha J Pavlova Iuliia I Peralta Eddy E Petrytsa Petro P Pišot Saša S Prot Franjo F Rasia José J Rivera Rita R Riyanti Benedicta Prihatin Dwi BPD Samekin Adil A Seisembekov Telman T Serapinas Danielius D Silletti Fabiola F Sharma Prerna P Shukla Shanu S Skrzypińska Katarzyna K Šolcová Iva Poláčková IP Solomontos-Kountouri Olga O Stanciu Adrian A Stefenel Delia D Steinmetz Lorena Cecilia López LCL Stogianni Maria M Stuart Jaimee J Sudarnoto Laura Francisca LF Sugimura Kazumi K Sultana Sadia S Suryani Angela Oktavia AO Tair Ergyul E Tavitian-Elmadjan Lucy L Thome Luciana Dutra LD Uka Fitim F Valickienė Rasa Pilkauskaitė RP Walter Brett B Wendt Guilherme W GW Yang Pei-Jung PJ Yıldırım Ebrar E Yu Yue Y Yunes Maria Angela Mattar MAM Zanoni da Silva Milene M Rudnev Maksim M
