Project Description

The response to the COVID-19 pandemic is increasingly focusing on non-pharmaceutical interventions, and thus emphasize the ability to mobilize pro-social behavior as perhaps the key determinant of the ‘curve’ of the disease. This project will test psychological, social (including mediational) and institutional determinants of pro- and anti-social behavior in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, through an original cross-national survey. The team will publish a working paper on key public-interest findings within 1-2 weeks of data collection. Academic papers and the dataset will be published open-access in due course.
