Abstract

The current Coronavirus pandemic has caused large-scale negative consequences to the economic developments as well as the society on a global scale. To prevent the further spreading of the virus, most governments have put forward a set of very strong measures that restrict citizen’s freedom to some extent (the most striking examples are the series of measurements taken during the lockdown phase). However, it is yet well established who might follow these measurements and who might not. The current study offers an innovative look at the personal characteristics that may link to one’s support for these strong preventive measures. The survey study found no supportive evidence for the positive relationships between disgust sensitivity as well as of patriotism to one’s support to strong preventive measures. The interviews conducted further suggest that people’s support for the policies might decrease over time and that one might only support the policies when it’s absolutely necessary. The paper also discusses implications, limitations, and future directions of the current study.
