Social and moral psychology of COVID-19 across 69 countries

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies. One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behaviour change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behaviour, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of moral and psychological measures and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables.

National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Understanding collective behaviour is an important aspect of managing the pandemic response. Here the authors show in a large global study that participants that reported identifying more strongly with their nation reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies in the context of the pandemic. Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = -0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics.

Den mjuka staten : Feminiseringen av samhället och dess konsekvenser
- 2024
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Under de senaste femtio åren har kvinnors makt i Sverige stärkts på ett dramatiskt sätt. Från att tidigare ha varit det generellt underordnade könet har kvinnor idag rentav en ledande ställning på många centrala områden. Viktiga yrken och samhällsinstitutioner som tidigare dominerats av män domineras idag av kvinnor.I Den mjuka staten undersöker Erik J. Olsson och Catharina Grönqvist Olsson, utifrån aktuell forskning från flera vetenskapliga fält, vad denna omvälvande demografiska utveckling innebär och vad den fått för konsekvenser. De behandlar även vad som kan komma att ske om maktbalansen mellan könen fortsätter att förskjutas i den riktning den gör för närvarande.Sammantaget ger boken en unik belysning av ett nytt och angeläget men sällan diskuterat samhällsfenomen: den ökande feminiseringen av stat och samhälle. Särskild betoning ligger på skolan och andra delar av den offentliga sektorn.Författarna driver tesen att kvinnors ökade inflytande inte bara har fått odelat positiva effekter, utan även är en viktig faktor bakom att Sverige idag kan kategoriseras som en mjuk stat. Termen myntades av nationalekonomen Gunnar Myrdal för att beskriva stater som på grund av bristande lagstiftning eller regelefterlevnad lider av social oordning.
