2019冠状病毒病大流行正在影响全球的健康、社会、心理和经济福祉，在个人层面采取预防措施和合作至关重要。本研究利用来自不同来源的数据，考察了各国对新冠肺炎大流行的焦虑水平和行为反应的差异。具体来说，我调查如何在国家一级的经济偏好和发展与焦虑和行为反应，以及这些因素是否解释上下文的差异。结果表明，在患者较多和发达的社会中，焦虑不太常见。然而，利他主义的社会遭受更多的焦虑。更高水平的积极互惠和信任也与更强的健康保护行为反应有关。这些发现对于引出新冠肺炎大流行在持续大流行期间对不同社会的影响非常重要。
The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting health, social, mental, and economic well-being worldwide, and taking precautions and co-operation is crucial at the individual level. Using data from various sources, this study examines cross-country differences in anxiety levels and behavioral responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, I investigate how economic preferences and development at the country-level are associated with anxiety and behavioral response and whether these factors explain contextual differences. Results show that anxiety was less common among more patient and developed societies. Yet, altruistic societies suffered more from anxiety. Higher levels of positive reciprocity and trust were also associated with stronger health-protective behavioral responses. These findings are important in eliciting the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for different societies during the ongoing pandemic.
