在没有疫苗的情况下，公众的行为是应对COVID-19大流行的关键。然而，与其他类型的危机和紧急情况一样，人们一直怀疑公众能够在多大程度上有效参与所需的行为。这些怀疑是基于过时的群体心理学模型。我们从三个方面分析了群体过程在COVID-19大流行中的作用：对威胁的识别、公众对所需公共卫生行为的遵守（以及增加这种遵守的因素）以及封锁期间出现的许多社区互助团体的行动。在每种情况下，我们都借鉴了关于紧急情况和灾害中的行为的累积研究，以及与COVID-19大流行有关的最新发现，以社会认同过程为基础的解释比其他解释更能理解证据的模式。如果大流行中的行为是可变群体过程的函数，而不是固定趋势的函数，那么行为改变是可能的。有证据表明，公众的行为发生了重大变化，特别是在大流行的早期。了解群体进程的作用意味着我们可以帮助设计更有效的干预措施，以支持公众在面对大流行和其他威胁时的集体复原力。我们从证据中得出了一套关于利用小组进程促进公众应对COVID-19的建议。
In the absence of a vaccine, behaviour by the public is key to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, as with other types of crises and emergencies, there have been doubts about the extent to which the public are able to engage effectively with the required behaviour. These doubts are based on outdated models of group psychology. We analyse the role of group processes in the COVID-19 pandemic in three domains: recognition of threat, adherence by the public to the required public health behaviours (and the factors that increase such adherence) and actions of the many community mutual aid groups that arose during lockdown. In each case, we draw upon the accumulated research on behaviour in emergencies and disasters, as well as the latest findings in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, to show that explanations in terms of social identity processes make better sense of the patterns of evidence than alternative explanations. If behaviour in the pandemic is a function of mutable group processes rather than fixed tendencies, then behavioural change is possible. There was evidence of significant change in behaviour from the public, particularly in the early days of the pandemic. Understanding the role of group processes means we can help design more effective interventions to support collective resilience in the public in the face of the pandemic and other threats. We draw out from the evidence a set of recommendations on facilitating the public response to COVID-19 by harnessing group processes.
