  1. The #COVID patients don't appear to have thought differently about risk, although more of them had been abroad and in contact with infected people. They may have complied less to infection control measures, but memory and reporting artefacts should be taken into account.

    The study was part of the #PANDRISK project, and in collaboration with Rebecca Cox, Dagrun Linchausen and Sebastian Bjørkheim. The study was #preregistered and #OpenData are provided.

  2. What makes us comply to infection control measures? The #PANDRISK team performed a survey experiment in the early pandemic (N=2 533). We manipulated whether a pandemic outbreak was described as high (vs. low) risk with prosocial (vs. self-interested) appeals to comply. We found both factors to have small effects on intention to comply.

    Now published as the first PhD paper of Sebastian Bjørkheim: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti #SurveyExperiment #compliance #InfectionControlMeasures #PandemicResearch
