Valentina Di Stasio und Tobias Stark: The role of social networks in promoting compliance with social distancing measures: evidence from the Netherlands - a podcast by Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung
from 2020-11-26T09:36:33
In their study, based on survey evidence from a representative sample of Dutch respondents taking part in an online panel, Valentina Di Stasio and Tobias Stark examine the association between the social norms of one's social network and the likelihood to comply with social distancing measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Their results show that compliance is stronger for people whose network members follow the rules (descriptive social norm) and expect others to do the same (injunctive social norm). They also present results from a survey experiment in which they test whether this association can be given a causal interpretation.
