Why are some people vigilant about social distancing while others are more lax? It all comes down to psychology.
If you’re like the people in the online sample, your average score per item would be about a 2.6, which puts you on the mid-to-high end of the scale. To get an idea of the range of scores, most people scored between a little less than 2 per item and as high as just over 3. Those at the top of the range would score at about a 3.8 .
To measure altruism, the authors used a “moral foundation” scale that included self-ratings on the five areas of showing such virtues as caring for others, feeling a sense of loyalty to your country, being respectful of others, and feeling that your motives are “pure.” On a 1-5 point scale, the majority of participants rated themselves lowest on in-group loyalty, and highest on believing in the virtue of fairness.
Fear is an emotion that can paralyze you and, when inordinately high, can signify poor mental health. Rather than fear, the items on the FCV-19S most strongly related to anxiety were the strongest behavior change predictors of social-distance compliance. Anxiety, the UK researchers explain, is “a preparatory reaction to ambiguous or distant stimuli.” Unlike fear, anxiety may actually prompt you to take constructive action.
