“…We do not incorporate recipients into our model, how consumers might perceive recipients and their motives, and how they may trade off among recipients based on perceived motives, and how these perceptions may themselves vary based on the donors' own motives. We suggest, but do not detail, longitudinal effects (Chintagunta & Labroo, 2020). These layers could and should be added to further our collective understanding of greater good.…”

COVID-19 and vaccine hesitancy: A longitudinal study

2021

How do attitudes toward vaccination change over the course of a public health crisis? We report results from a longitudinal survey of United States residents during six months (March 16 –August 16, 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Contrary to past research suggesting that the increased salience of a disease threat should improve attitudes toward vaccines, we observed a decrease in intentions of getting a COVID-19 vaccine when one becomes available. We further found a decline in general vaccine attitudes and intentions of getting the influenza vaccine. Analyses of heterogeneity indicated that this decline is driven by participants who identify as Republicans, who showed a negative trend in vaccine attitudes and intentions, whereas Democrats remained largely stable. Consistent with research on risk perception and behavior, those with less favorable attitudes toward a COVID-19 vaccination also perceived the virus to be less threatening. We provide suggestive evidence that differential exposure to media channels and social networks could explain the observed asymmetric polarization between self-identified Democrats and Republicans.

“…This work adds to a growing discussion in the literature regarding the validity of lab findings (38,39). The present research is also unique with respect to the longitudinal nature of our data, which, as noted in a recent call for the integration of such data (40), is largely absent from behavioral research, and particularly rare in the context of major crises (18).…”

Increased Generosity Under COVID-19 Threat

In the face of crises – wars, pandemics, and natural disasters – both increased selfishness and increased generosity may emerge. In this paper, we study the relationship between the presence of COVID-19 threat and generosity using a four-year longitudinal dataset (N = 696,942) capturing real donations made before and during the pandemic, as well as six-months dictator game allocations (N = 1,003 participants) made during the early months of the pandemic. Consistent with the notion of “catastrophe compassion” (Zaki 2020), and contrary to prior research showing a tendency toward self-interested behavior under threat, individuals across both datasets exhibited greater financial generosity when their county experienced COVID-19 threat. While we find that the presence of threat impacted individual giving, behavior was not sensitive to threat level. Our findings have significant societal implications and advance our understanding of economic and psychological theories of social preferences under threat.
