Abstract

This research takes a maximally inclusive social identity approach to COVID-19 and examines whether the “bond” and “concern” factors of identification with humanity: (1) explain additional variance in health-related behaviors—above and beyond relevant covariates; (2) are uniquely associated with health-related behaviors; and (3) were more strongly associated with health-related behaviors when COVID-19 cases were high. Results (N = 324) suggest the bond and concern factors explained significantly more variance in social distancing, social influencing, overbuying, and marginally more variance in mask wearing. Bond with all humanity uniquely predicted more mask wearing, more social influencing, less social distancing, and more overbuying, and concern for all humanity uniquely predicted more social distancing and less overbuying. However, COVID-19 cases did not consistently moderate associations with health-related behaviors. Overall, identification with humanity has an important role in—and the bond and concern factors have distinct associations with—health-related behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

在COVID-19期间与人类和健康相关的行为的识别

本研究对COVID-19采取了最大包容性的社会认同方法，并检验了与人类认同的“纽带”和“关注”因素是否:(1)解释了与健康相关的行为的额外差异——超出相关协变量;(2)与健康相关行为唯一相关;(3)当COVID-19病例高时，与健康相关行为的相关性更强。结果(N = 324)表明，纽带和关注因素在社会距离、社会影响、过度购买方面解释了更多的方差，在口罩佩戴方面解释了更多的方差。与全人类的联系独特地预示着更多的口罩佩戴，更多的社会影响力，更少的社会距离，更多的过度购买，对全人类的关注独特地预示着更多的社会距离，更少的过度购买。然而，COVID-19病例与健康相关行为的关联并不一致。总体而言，在COVID-19大流行期间，对人性的认同在与健康相关的行为中发挥着重要作用，并且这种联系和关注因素与健康相关的行为有着明显的关联。
