Culture and the Containment of the Covid-19 Pandemic: How Collectivism Fosters Preventive Behaviors

This research demonstrates that collectivism is: (a) negatively associated with the spread of COVID-19, (b) positively associated with the self-importance/expectation to engage in COVID-19 preventive behaviors, and (c) greater likelihood to take COVID-19 vaccination. The link between collectivism and likelihood to engage in preventive behaviors is mediated by others’ beliefs.
