Abstract:
We conducted a randomized survey experiment during the COVID-19 pandemic to examine the effects of information treatments on individuals’ 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.
