在新冠肺炎大流行期间，人们被建议遵守限制身体接触的社交距离指南。人类有一系列的适应来满足归属感的需求，同时避免疾病的共性。激励系统之间的竞争可能解释了对社交疏远指导方针的遵守和抵制，以及技术中介的互动如何进一步塑造这些决定。这项研究是对大流行期间收集的具有代表性的样本中的数据进行的注册前分析，调查了附属动机和病原体回避动机的个体差异如何预测对物理互动的兴趣(N=2409)。细菌厌恶预示着对物理互动的不感兴趣，需要属于预测的兴趣。其他分析显示，使用科技令人满意的归属动机出人意料地提高了人们对身体接触的兴趣。探索性分析进一步表明，网速与对物理互动的更大兴趣类似。我们通过一个相互竞争的基本社会动机框架来框架这些结果，并讨论如何有效地应对未来的大流行。
During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals were advised to adhere to social distancing guidelines limiting physical interpersonal contact. Humans have a suite of adaptations to satisfy belonging needs while avoiding diseased conspecifics. Competition between motivational systems may explain adherence and resistance to social distancing guidelines and how technologically mediated interactions further shape these decisions. This study is a preregistered analysis of data in a representative sample collected during the pandemic investigating how individual differences in affiliative and pathogen-avoidant motives predict interest in physical interactions (N = 2409). Germ aversion predicted disinterest in physical interactions and need to belong predicted interest. Additional analyses revealed technology use satisfied belonging motives that unexpectedly heightened interest in physical contact. Exploratory analyses further indicate that internet speed was similarly associated with greater interest in physical interactions. We frame these results through a competing fundamental social motives framework and discuss how to address future pandemics effectively.
