OBJECTIVES
The urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic has led governments to impose restrictions on individual freedom and required citizens to comply with these restrictions. In addition, lockdowns related to COVID-19 have led to a significant economic crisis. We aimed to study how the pandemic and related economic threats have impacted support for anti-democratic political systems.
METHOD
We analyzed data from a quota panel of the Italian adult population ( = 1,195), surveyed once before and once during the pandemic.
RESULTS
A hierarchical regression model showed that exposure to COVID-19 and perceived economic insecurity were associated with support for anti-democratic political systems, independent of participants' predispositions toward a strong leader.
CONCLUSION
An authoritarian personality is not a necessary precondition for individual anti-democracy: when facing severe personal threats, anyone could restore a subjective sense of control over the social world by becoming anti-democratic, independent of their initial predisposition to support anti-democratic political systems.
目标
新冠疫情的紧迫性促使各国政府对个人自由施加限制，并要求公民遵守这些限制。此外，与新冠疫情相关的封锁措施引发了严重的经济危机。我们旨在研究这场疫情及相关经济威胁如何影响对反民主政治制度的支持。
方法
我们分析了来自意大利成年人口配额面板的数据（n = 1195），在疫情前和疫情期间各进行了一次调查。
结果
分层回归模型显示，接触新冠疫情和感知到的经济不安全与对反民主政治制度的支持相关，且与参与者对强势领导人的倾向无关。
结论
专制人格并非个人反民主的必要前提：当面临严重的个人威胁时，任何人都可能通过变得反民主来恢复对社会世界的主观控制感，无论其最初是否倾向于支持反民主政治制度。
