“…Unfortunately, many people are working/studying from home, temporarily working as part time or lost their jobs, and most unessential activities and gatherings are cancelled. These actions had a clear effect economically where flights number strongly decreased to almost zero, car traffic went down, and universities' campuses were closed [9][10][11]. Anyway, the good thing is that this is not a permanent situation where it is expected that out of home activities and flights demand will increase when the social distancing interventions are cancelled although it is not clear how long the adopted interventions will continue.…”

Pandemic diseases are fought through efficient intervention procedures including non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, and closure of events, schools and workplaces. These procedures are ruled by different decisionsmakers in local communities, and national authorities. Different procedures are conducted based on the community affected by the pandemic disease to reduce the severity in various social life. During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic most of universities worldwide closed their campuses and continue the study through online learning.To open back the campuses, universities have to analyze and investigate such decision impact on the outbreaks. This paper develops a simulation model of COVID-19 investigating realistic intervention procedures that can be conducted to control and mitigate outbreaks. The model is constructed to simulate Effat University environment. Our model predicts average COVID-19 attack rates for various intervention scenarios, such as partial closure and social distancing, cleaning and disinfection, COVID-19 symptoms monitoring system are combined with isolate and treat confirmed COVID-19 cases. The findings indicate that combining all the proposed interventions can be substantially more effective than isolate and treat confirmed COVID-19 cases alone from epidemiological standpoint.

“…Despite the fact that we replicated the results that charity misconduct news reduced willingness to help in four studies, there might be a discrepancy between individuals’ expressed willingness and actual donating behaviors. Field experiments are a major tool for investigating helping and charitable giving [ 75 , 76 , 77 ], and should be considered in future studies to investigate the impact of charity misconduct news about public health issues on prosocial behaviors.…”

Charity Misconduct on Public Health Issues Impairs Willingness to Offer Help

Charity organizations positively impact our societies but charity misconduct impairs people’s willingness to contribute to charity and functional health systems on public health issues. This study investigates the impact of charity misconduct on people’s willingness to offer help on public health issues and possible ways of reducing the negative impact brought by charity misconduct news through four studies (Ntotal = 1269). Results showed that charity misconduct on public health issues significantly reduced individuals’ willingness to offer help via both the charity involved with the misconduct and any charity they prefer (Study 1 and 2). Furthermore, news on charity misconduct reduced people’s general willingness to help in contexts that did not involve charity (Study 3). Finally, presenting charity nonmisconduct news after charity misconduct news increases individuals’ willingness to offer help via the nonmisconduct charity (Study 4), suggesting a potential way to nudge people to provide help in the fight against the negative impact brought by charity misconduct news. The findings show the backfire of reporting charity misconduct news and have important implications for potential ways to facilitate people to offer help.

“…People’s willingness to cooperate with players often differs substantially with different social distances ( Rachlin and Jones, 2008 ). Laboratory experimental evidence suggested that members of a team behave more altruistically when they perceive a closer social distance from other members of their team ( Gee et al, 2020 ). This difference is due to the difficulty in maintaining long-term interactions between groups with different social distances and the possibility of obtaining long-term benefits from them ( Bereczkei et al, 2007 ; Lamba and Mace, 2010 ; van Lange et al, 2011 ).…”

The behavior decisions in social dilemmas are highlighted in sociological, economic, and social psychological studies. Across two studies, the iterated prisoner’s dilemma is used as a basic paradigm to explore the effects of social distance and asymmetric reward and punishment on an individual’s cooperative behavior. Experiment 1 (N = 80) used a 2 (social distance: intimacy vs. strangeness) × 2 (symmetry of rewards: symmetric rewards vs. asymmetric rewards) within-subject design and demonstrated that when there were only two options, namely, cooperation and defection, cooperative behavior was influenced by social distance and symmetry of rewards, respectively, and the interaction was not significant. Experiment 2 (N = 80) used a 2 (social distance: intimacy vs. strangeness) × 2 (symmetry of punishment: symmetric punishment vs. asymmetric punishment) within-subject design and showed that the cooperative behavior of participants decreased when the punishment option was added, and the two levels of symmetry and asymmetry were set. Specifically, compared with the symmetric punishment group, the asymmetric punishment group was more likely to choose a defection strategy and less likely to use a punishment strategy. Moreover, there was a marginal interaction effect between social distance and symmetry of punishment, and symmetry of punishment was a significant mediator in the relationship between social distance and individual cooperation. Specifically, asymmetric punishment reduced only the cooperation rate (CR) between participants and their friends. In conclusion, in dilemma situations, asymmetric reward did not influence individual cooperative behavior at different social distances, while asymmetric punishment did, because the sense of loss was more likely to awaken an individual’s social comparison motives.
