Abstract

Abstract. The better-than-average effect (BTAE) is a mechanism where people perceive oneself as better than others. The BTAE could be one of the phenomena explaining why people follow – in the moment of a global health crisis – guidelines (“I am superior to others, and I [will]) take extra precautions, e.g., a vaccine shot”). In this paper, we investigate the BTAE with 3,066 respondents. In Study 1, in all countries, across two measurements in time, the BTAE was present: Participants rated their involvement in self-protection as greater in comparison to others. Study 2 replicated this effect, proving its robustness. Participants estimated their willingness to vaccinate as higher than others. The BTAE was a significant predictor of willingness to vaccinate.
危机时刻有偏见的社会比较
摘要高于平均水平效应(BTAE)是一种人们认为自己比别人更好的机制。BTAE可能是解释为什么人们在全球健康危机时刻遵循指导方针(“我比别人优越,我[将])的现象之一(例如,注射疫苗)。在本文中,我们调查了3066名受访者的BTAE。在研究1中,在所有国家,通过两次时间测量,BTAE都存在:参与者对自我保护的参与程度比其他人更高。研究2重复了这一效应,证明了其稳健性。参与者估计他们接种疫苗的意愿比其他人高。BTAE是疫苗接种意愿的重要预测因子。
