Development of Prejudice, Fear and Behaviour that Limits Spread of COVID-19 in 6 European Countries.
Original language description
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to identify factors that promote behaviors aimed at reducing the transmission of the virus ('anti-COVID-19 behavior') and factors that mitigate the negative societal consequences of the pandemic ('prejudice'). Investigating these two aspects simultaneously is imperative, as some factors, such as the fear of COVID-19, may impact both outcomes, while others, such as societal norms related to anti-COVID behavior or intergroup contact influencing prejudice, may lead to positive changes in one aspect without adversely affecting the other. In a comprehensive three-wave longitudinal study conducted in five European countries from April to October 2020, involving 4,275 participants, we employed a latent change score model to differentiate between changes occurring within individuals and those occurring between individuals in both anti-COVID-19 behavior and prejudice. Our findings revealed that anti-COVID-19 behavior was positively influenced by adherence to anti-COVID-19 norms at the individual level, while prejudice against migrants from the Middle East was shaped by various forms of intergroup contact, including both positive and negative direct interactions and mass-media exposure.
