Abstract:
We conducted a randomized survey experiment during the COVID-19 pandemic to examine the effects of information treatments on individuals\u2019 cooperation with social dstancing measures.
Using a 2 by 2 factorial design, we examined the effects of social comparisons and a powerful messenger. Based on a sample of about 3,000 respondents, we found that our subjects cooperated with social distancing measures more when they understood they had spent a relatively long time outside the home compared with the social norms in the previous week. By contrast, we found no evidence that a powerful messenger increases the effectiveness of the message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1194"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1197,"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1194\/revisions\/1197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
