Nordmenn stolte på myndighetenes informasjon og tiltak i starten av koronapandemien
Effektiv håndtering av en pandemi avhenger av at befolkningen har tillit til
myndighetene, og at den stoler på og er villig til å følge smitteverntiltakene. I mars,
juni og august 2020 undersøkte vi disse faktorene i tre spørreundersøkelser som er
representative for Norges befolkning. Disse viste at flertallet har høy tillit til hvordan
nasjonale og regionale myndigheter håndterer pandemien, og tillit til at de selv vil kunne
håndtere de utfordringer som pandemien kan komme til å gi dem. De fleste stoler på
informasjonen fra helsemyndighetene, spesielt når det kommer til smitteverntiltak, og
mener det er viktig å følge med på offisiell informasjon. De aller fleste sier at de
følger smitteverntiltakene, og tror at tiltakene vil være effektive. Til tross for at
opplevelsen av pandemien endret seg i løpet denne perioden, viste undersøkelsene bare små
endringer i etterlevelse. I denne perioden hadde den norske befolkningen stor tillit til
helsemyndighetene og ønsket å følge den offisielle informasjonen og tiltakene. Denne
tilliten kan være avgjørende for vellykket håndtering av pandemier
Warmth and competence perceptions of key protagonists are associated with containment measures during the COVID-19 pandemic : Evidence from 35 countries
Author correction to this article, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-27832-9.It is crucial to understand why people comply with measures to contain viruses and their effects during pandemics. We provide evidence from 35 countries (Ntotal = 12,553) from 6 continents during the COVID-19 pandemic (between 2021 and 2022) obtained via cross-sectional surveys that the social perception of key protagonists on two basic dimensions—warmth and competence—plays a crucial role in shaping pandemic-related behaviors. Firstly, when asked in an open question format, heads of state, physicians, and protest movements were universally identified as key protagonists across countries. Secondly, multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses revealed that warmth and competence perceptions of these and other protagonists differed significantly within and between countries. Thirdly, internal meta-analyses showed that warmth and competence perceptions of heads of state, physicians, and protest movements were associated with support and opposition intentions, containment and prevention behaviors, as well as vaccination uptake. Our results have important implications for designing effective interventions to motivate desirable health outcomes and coping with future health crises and other global challenges.Peer reviewe
