Abstract

Abstract. Background: In November 2020, many European governments imposed severe limitations on social contacts and festive gatherings to avoid a further outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aims: At the moment when it was still unclear whether Christmas gatherings would be allowed, the present vignette study was conducted to evaluate four hypothetical scenarios varying in restrictiveness (i.e., 1, 2, 4, or an unlimited number of visitors). Method: In total, 5,756 Belgian participants (65.7% female; Mage = 45.6, range: 18–89) evaluated each scenario in terms of the perceived strictness, probability of adherence, and expected psychological advantages (i.e., autonomy, relatedness, pleasure) and disadvantages (i.e., concerns). Results: Evidence for a curvilinear pattern was found, such that the expected psychological benefits increased with an increasing number of allowed visitors till 4, with this effect being reversed in case of an unlimited gathering. Yet, these main effects were qualified: Older adults, those living together, and those scoring high on risk perception and autonomous motivation to adhere to the corona measures expected the more restrictive scenarios to be equally beneficial compared to the more relaxed scenarios. Limitations: Limitations are self-selection of the sample, no counterbalancing of the scenario’s and the vignette-based methodology. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that people’s risk perception and autonomous motivation are key to secure and stimulate the acceptance of life-restricting measures.
圣诞快乐,新年健康
摘要背景:2020年11月,许多欧洲国家政府对社交接触和节日聚会实施了严格限制,以避免COVID-19大流行进一步爆发。目的:在尚不清楚是否允许圣诞节聚会的时候,本研究进行了小插图研究,以评估四种限制不同的假设情景(即1、2、4或无限数量的访客)。方法:共有5756名比利时参与者(65.7%为女性;Mage = 45.6,范围:18-89)根据感知到的严格程度、遵守的可能性、预期的心理优势(即自主性、亲和性、愉悦性)和劣势(即担忧性)来评估每个场景。结果:发现了一个曲线模式的证据,即预期的心理效益随着允许的访客数量的增加而增加,直到4,在无限制聚集的情况下,这种效果会逆转。然而,这些主要影响是合格的:老年人、住在一起的人,以及那些在风险感知和坚持冠状病毒措施的自主动机方面得分较高的人,预计限制性更强的情景与更宽松的情景相比同样有益。限制:限制是样本的自我选择,不平衡场景和基于图像的方法。结论:人们的风险认知和自主动机是确保和激励人们接受限制生命措施的关键。
