Abstract

Abstract Data from two U.S. online samples ( N = 613) indicated that conservatives consistently perceived face mask use as less important than did liberals. This difference was attenuated with high counterfactual engagement. Both studies provide correlational evidence of this robust moderation. Study 2 provides further insight into differences between liberals' and conservatives' emotional responses to COVID‐19 information, and suggests that during on‐going negative events, downward counterfactuals may not provide relief. Overall, these studies document the politicization of public health behavior, and find that emphasizing the causal links between behavior and COVID‐19 prevention may improve conservatives' attitudes toward CDC guidelines.

反事实思维可能会减弱COVID - 19预防行为的两极分化
来自两个美国在线样本(N = 613)的数据表明,保守派始终认为口罩的使用比自由派更不重要。这种差异随着高度的反事实参与而减弱。两项研究都提供了这种稳健适度的相关证据。研究2进一步深入了解了自由派和保守派对COVID - 19信息的情绪反应差异,并表明在持续的负面事件中,向下的反事实可能无法提供缓解。总的来说,这些研究记录了公共卫生行为的政治化,并发现强调行为与COVID - 19预防之间的因果关系可能会改善保守派对CDC指南的态度。
