National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic.

Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = -0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics

Samos: la ceramica arcaica

Osservazioni introduttive Provenienza del materiale, particolarità del sito Nel trattare la ceramica di Samos mi riferisco a quella trovata nel santuario di Hera, che mi è familiare. I rinvenimenti di ceramica arcaica in altre zone dell’isola, e in particolare nell’antica capitale, l’odierna Pythagorion, sono in parte sporadici (scavi dell’Istituto Germanico di Atene), in parte non ancora pubblicati (scavi dell’eforia delle Cicladi, eseguiti negli ultimi anni da Konstantinos Tsakos).
