Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caught the world by surprise and raised many questions. One of the questions is whether infectious diseases indeed drive fast life history (LH) as the extent research suggests. This paper challenges this assumption and raises a different perspective. We argue that infectious diseases enact either slower or faster LH strategies and the related disease control behavior depending on disease severity. We tested and supported the theorization based on a sample of 662 adult residents drawn from all 32 provinces and administrative regions of mainland China. The findings help to broaden LH perspectives and to better understand unusual social phenomena arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

新冠肺炎疫情流行、病死率、生活史策略与行为控制
新冠肺炎疫情突如其来,引发诸多问题。其中一个问题是,传染病是否真的像研究表明的那样,推动了快速生活史(LH)。本文对这一假设提出了挑战,并提出了不同的观点。我们认为,根据疾病的严重程度,传染病制定了或慢或快的LH策略和相关的疾病控制行为。我们基于来自中国大陆所有32个省份和行政区的662名成年居民的样本来检验并支持这一理论。这些发现有助于拓宽LH的视角,更好地理解COVID-19大流行引起的不寻常的社会现象。
