“…To account for verified cultural differences in terms of institutional collectivism (i.e., preservation of collective interests through rules and institutions), power distance (i.e., power distribution within a country), and value of participative leadership (i.e., followers are involved in decisional and executive processes) 23 as well as reported country-dependence of the NPIs effectiveness, 24 we ran this model twice. In the first model, we constrained all regression weights to be equal among the four subsamples (i.e., China, Germany, Israel, USA).…”

ObjectivesTo investigate whether citizens’ adherence to health-protective non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic is predicted by identity leadership, wherein leaders are perceived to create a sense of shared national identity.DesignObservational two-wave study. Hypotheses testing was conducted with structural equation modelling.SettingData collection during the COVID-19 pandemic in China, Germany, Israel and the USA in April/May 2020 and four weeks later.ParticipantsAdults in China (n=548, 66.6% women), Germany (n=182, 78% women), Israel (n=198, 51.0% women) and the USA (n=108, 58.3% women).MeasuresIdentity leadership (assessed by the four-item Identity Leadership Inventory Short-Form) at Time 1, perceived shared national identification (PSNI; assessed with four items) and adherence to health-protective NPIs (assessed with 10 items that describe different health-protective interventions; for example, wearing face masks) at Time 2.ResultsIdentity leadership was positively associated with PSNI (95% CI 0.11 to 0.30, p<0.001) in all countries. This, in turn, was related to more adherence to health-protective NPIs in all countries (95% CI 0.03 to 0.36, 0.001≤p≤0.017) except Israel (95% CI −0.03 to 0.27, p=0.119). In Germany, the more people saw Chancellor Merkel as engaging in identity leadership, the more they adhered to health-protective NPIs (95% CI 0.04 to 0.18, p=0.002). In the USA, in contrast, the more people perceived President Trump as engaging in identity leadership, the less they adhered to health-protective NPIs (95% CI −0.17 to −0.04, p=0.002).ConclusionsNational leaders can make a difference by promoting a sense of shared identity among their citizens because people are more inclined to follow health-protective NPIs to the extent that they feel part of a united ‘us’. However, the content of identity leadership (perceptions of what it means to be a nation’s citizen) is essential, because this can also encourage people to disregard such recommendations.
