Abstract

Community mitigation strategies in a pandemic rely largely on individuals' voluntary compliance with public health measures (e.g., social and physical distancing). That these measures are crucial from a societal and community perspective-not just as means of self-protection-suggests that a sense of solidarity encourages their adoption by individuals. We conceptualized Canadians' responses early in the COVID-19 crisis as a form of collective action motivated by the perceived threat of the novel coronavirus, national identification, and efficacy beliefs (e.g., people's sense that their actions would make a difference in "flattening the curve" of infections). Analyses of responses of a cross-sectional sample of Canadians (N = 499) in April 2020 provided support for effects derived from this social identity account: perceived threat predicted Canadian national identification, and both threat and identification were positively associated with efficacy beliefs, which in turn predicted endorsement of public health measures. We highlight the roles of social identification and efficacy beliefs with a focus on how they might be incorporated into public health messaging.

保持彼此安全:加拿大应对COVID-19的社会身份账户。
大流行期间的社区缓解战略在很大程度上依赖于个人自愿遵守公共卫生措施(例如保持社交和身体距离)。从社会和社区的角度来看,这些措施是至关重要的,而不仅仅是作为自我保护的手段,这表明团结的意识鼓励了个人采用这些措施。我们将加拿大人在COVID-19危机早期的反应概念化为一种集体行动形式,这种行动是由新型冠状病毒的感知威胁、国家认同和功效信念(例如,人们认为他们的行动将对“平坦化感染曲线”产生影响)所驱动的。2020年4月对加拿大人横断面样本(N = 499)的反应进行分析,为这一社会认同账户产生的影响提供了支持:感知威胁预测了加拿大的国民认同,威胁和认同都与效力信念呈正相关,而效力信念反过来又预测了对公共卫生措施的支持。我们强调社会认同和功效信念的作用,重点是如何将它们纳入公共卫生信息。(心理信息数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,所有权利保留)(法语)Les strategies communautres d'attenuation des effects d'une pandemic rerep en grande partie sur l'adhesion de la population aux measures de sante publicque(例如,la distance sociale et体质)。Le fait que ces衡量社会价值和社区价值的社会价值和社会价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值和社区价值的自我保护表明,社会价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值表明,社会价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值表明,社会价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值表明,社会价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值表明,社会价值的社会价值和社区价值的社会价值是一致的。Nous avons概念化了“加拿大人对COVID-19危机的反应”,“集体行动”,“集体动机”,“新冠病毒的威胁”,“国家识别”,“自我效能”(例如,“情绪”,“个人行为”,“不同的行为”,“不同的行为”,“不同的行为”,“不同的行为”)。Les在2020年4月对加拿大人(N = 499)的调查结果进行了分析,以证实这些影响源于“认同社会”的概念:“威胁”导致了“认同加拿大国民”的预测,“威胁”导致了“认同加拿大国民”的预测,“威胁”导致了“认同自我”的积极联想,“认同自我”的情绪,“认同自我”的影响,以及“认同自我”的影响。“社会认同”、“情感认同”、“自我效能”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”、“情感认同”。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)影响声明成功应对COVID-19危机需要广泛接受社交距离等公共卫生措施。这项研究表明,加拿大人对这些措施的支持与他们对新型冠状病毒的感知威胁、他们的民族认同以及他们认为自己的行为将对“平坦化感染曲线”产生影响有关。因此,强调团结和集体责任的公共卫生信息可能是鼓励遵守的有效手段。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)
