Abstract

Abstract Public mask mandates are widely recognized as one of the most effective policy tools to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Across the US, states vary widely in the timeline of adopting a state-level requirement to wear face coverings. Governors play a crucial role in making policy responses to the coronavirus pandemic. Building upon the upper echelons theory, this research explores the determinants of the timing of issuing statewide public mask mandates, focusing on the individual characteristics of state governors. Based on an event history analysis, the study finds that the two characteristics (political ideology and gubernatorial power) of state governor have influenced the time to adoption of statewide public mask mandates. Furthermore, managerial discretion and job demand have a moderating effect on the linkage between the personal traits of state governors and the timeline of adopting public mask mandates.

新冠肺炎戴口罩还是不戴口罩？州长的个人特征会影响全州公共口罩强制令的通过吗？

摘要公众口罩强制令被广泛认为是缓解新冠肺炎传播的最有效政策工具之一。在美国各地，各州在采取州级要求佩戴口罩的时间表上差异很大。州长在制定应对冠状病毒大流行的政策方面发挥着至关重要的作用。基于上层理论，本研究探讨了发布全州公共口罩强制令的时间决定因素，重点关注各州州长的个人特征。基于事件历史分析，研究发现，州长的两个特征（政治意识形态和州长权力）影响了全州公共口罩强制令的通过时间。此外，管理自由裁量权和工作需求对各州州长的个人特征与采取公共口罩强制令的时间表之间的联系具有调节作用。
