| Popis: |
The extent to which citizens comply or not with public health measures designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 strongly affects the propagation of the virus as well as the number of hospitalizations and death from the disease. It is however very difficult to identify (and then target) non-compliers because claiming to follow the rules is socially desirable. Drawing on data from three survey experiments, we examine the efficacy of “face-saving” treatments as a means of reducing social desirability and enhancing measurement of compliance. These treatments should make it more acceptable and guilty-free for citizens to admit non-compliance. We thus expect to find the proportion of non-compliance to be systematically higher in the group received the face-saving question. Considering the present context and the importance of accurately measuring and then targeting non-compliance, we argue that scholars around the world should adopt the face-saving question. |
