强制性和自愿性口罩政策可能会产生未知的社会和行为后果，这些后果与措施的有效性、污名化和公平感有关。来自近7，000名德国参与者的连续横截面数据（2020年4月14日至5月26日）表明，实施强制性政策增加了实际遵守，尽管接受程度适中;戴口罩与其他保护行为呈正相关。预先登记的实验（n = 925）进一步表明，自愿政策可能会导致不充分的遵守，将被视为不公平，并可能加剧污名化。强制性政策似乎是遏制空气传播病毒的有效、公平和对社会负责的解决方案。
Mandatory and voluntary mask policies may have yet unknown social and behavioral consequences related to the effectiveness of the measure, stigmatization, and perceived fairness. Serial cross-sectional data (April 14 to May 26, 2020) from nearly 7,000 German participants demonstrate that implementing a mandatory policy increased actual compliance despite moderate acceptance; mask wearing correlated positively with other protective behaviors. A preregistered experiment (n = 925) further indicates that a voluntary policy would likely lead to insufficient compliance, would be perceived as less fair, and could intensify stigmatization. A mandatory policy appears to be an effective, fair, and socially responsible solution to curb transmissions of airborne viruses.
