与那些自认为自由派的人相比，政治上保守的美国人报告愿意接种2019年冠状病毒疫苗的可能性较小。使用Axios/Ipsos冠状病毒调查从2020年11月到2021年2月的数据，作者发现，随着时间的推移，疫苗犹豫不决的党派分歧有所增加。最近的学术研究表明，这些差异可以归因于个人特征，包括对机构的不同程度的信任。作者发现，尽管11月中旬的数据支持这一假设，但到了2月初，人口统计学上的差异、对疫情的担忧以及机构信任不再能解释党派分歧。两位作者通过最近的证据解释了日益加深的分歧，这些证据表明，政党背景已成为塑造个人决策的身份来源。
Politically conservative Americans are less likely than those who identify as liberal to report a willingness to get a vaccine against coronavirus disease 2019. Using data from the Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Survey from November 2020 to February 2021, the authors find that this partisan divide in vaccine hesitancy has increased over time. Recent scholarship has suggested that these differences can be attributed to personal characteristics, including varying levels of trust in institutions. The authors find that although the data supported this hypothesis in mid-November, by early February differences in demographics, concern about the pandemic, and institutional trust no longer explained the partisan gap. The authors explain the deepening divide by turning to recent evidence that political party affiliation has become a source of identity that shapes personal decision making.
