Abstract

This study investigated whether misalignment between an individual and their community in partisan identity predicted psychological and behavioral distancing from local COVID-19 norms. A nationally representative sample of Republicans and Democrats provided longitudinal data in April (N = 3,492) and June 2020 (N = 2,649). Democrats in Republican communities reported especially heightened better-than-average estimates, perceiving themselves as more adherent to and approving of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI; e.g., mask wearing) than their community. Democrats'better-than-average estimates reflected high approval and behavior in Republican communities and substantial norm underestimation. Republicans in Democratic communities did not evidence worse-than-average estimates. In longitudinal models, injunctive norms only predicted NPI behavior when individual and community partisan identity were aligned. The strong personal approval-behavior association did not depend on misalignment; there were no effects of descriptive norms. Normative messages may have limited efficacy for a sizable subpopulation in politically polarized contexts, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

党派认同中的个人-社区错位预示着COVID-19大流行期间与规范的距离。

本研究调查了个人与其社区在党派身份上的不一致是否预示着与当地COVID-19规范的心理和行为距离。共和党和民主党的全国代表性样本在2020年4月(N = 3,492)和6月(N = 2,649)提供了纵向数据。共和党社区的民主党人报告了高于平均水平的评估，认为自己更坚持和赞成非药物干预(NPI;例如，戴口罩)比他们的社区。民主党人的预估好于平均水平，反映了共和党社区对民主党人的高度认可和行为，以及对规范的严重低估。民主党社区的共和党人并没有表现出低于平均水平的估计。在纵向模型中，禁令规范仅在个人和社区党派认同一致时预测NPI行为。强烈的个人认可-行为关联不依赖于偏差;描述性规范没有影响。在COVID-19大流行等政治两极分化的背景下，规范性信息对相当大的亚群体的效力可能有限。
