摘要

全球冠状病毒大流行为理解突然暴露于高度存在风险对个人和社会价值观的影响提供了一个准实验环境。方法通过将2020年3月COVID-19全球传播前后八个国家的调查数据与英国2019年至2021年连续每周调查跟踪数据进行比较,研究大流行对政治态度的影响。多层模型用于探索变化的驱动因素,结果表明,在病原体风险较高的时期,报告的恐惧和压力情绪与制度批准呈正相关。我们的研究结果显示,对政治和技术官僚权威的支持,以及对政治制度的满意度,在大流行期间显著高于长期历史基线。研究结果支持了一个假设,即暴露于存在风险会导致对权威的更大支持,而个人的不安全感可能与不那么批判性的公民取向有关。

Existential insecurity and deference to authority: the pandemic as a natural experiment
Introduction The global coronavirus pandemic offers a quasi-experimental setting for understanding the impact of sudden exposure to heightened existential risk upon both individual and societal values. Methods We examined the effect of the pandemic on political attitudes by comparing data from eight countries surveyed before and after the worldwide spread of COVID-19 in March 2020 with continuous weekly polling tracker data from the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2021. Multilevel models were used to explore the drivers of change, and the results indicated that reported emotions of fear and stress were positively associated with institutional approval during periods of greater pathogen risk. Results Our findings revealed that support for political and technocratic authority, as well as satisfaction with political institutions, rose significantly above long-term historical baselines during the pandemic. Discussion The results support the hypothesis that exposure to existential risk results in greater support for authority and that individual feelings of insecurity may be linked to less critical citizen orientations.
