摘要

政府的信任通常对社会有益,特别是在危机情况下,如在COVID-19大流行期间,因为政府依赖公民遵守指令。在世界范围内,随着支持证据的积累,一项关键指示是戴口罩。然而,在瑞典,政府质疑它们的用处。在洗手等其他行为建议上,政府采取了传统的做法。我们依靠这种不建议戴口罩来研究政府信任对行为的因果影响。根据瑞典在疫情期间进行的一项大型调查,我们发现,政府的信任度越高,戴口罩的可能性就越低。相反,更高的信任会增加洗手的可能性。这些发现证实了关于信任的有益后果的结论。

Why Swedes Don’t Wear Face Masks During the Pandemic—A Consequence of Blindly Trusting the Government
Government trust is generally helpful for societies, especially in crisis situations, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, because governments rely on citizens to follow directives. Worldwide, with supporting evidence accumulating, a key directive has been to wear face masks. However, in Sweden, the government has questioned their usefulness. On other behavioral recommendations, such as handwashing, the government has taken a conventional path. We rely on this non-recommendation of face masks to examine the causal impact of government trust on behavior. Based on a large Swedish survey fielded during the pandemic, we find that higher government trust reduces the likelihood of wearing face masks. In contrast, higher trust increases the likelihood of handwashing. The findings qualify the conclusion about the beneficial consequences of trust.
