This paper examines whether compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures is motivated by wanting to save lives or save the economy (or both), and which implications this carries to fight the pandemic. National representative samples were collected from 24 countries (N = 25,435). The main predictors were (1) perceived risk to contract coronavirus, (2) perceived risk to suffer economic losses due to coronavirus, and (3) their interaction effect. Individual and country-level variables were added as covariates in multilevel regression models. We examined compliance with various preventive health behaviors and support for strict containment policies. Results show that perceived economic risk consistently predicted mitigation behavior and policy support-and its effects were positive. Perceived health risk had mixed effects. Only two significant interactions between health and economic risk were identified-both positive.
本文探讨了人们遵守 COVID-19 缓解措施的动机是为了拯救生命还是拯救经济（或两者兼而有之），以及这对抗击大流行有何影响。从 24 个国家收集了具有全国代表性的样本（N=25435）。主要预测指标包括（1）感染冠状病毒的风险感知，（2）因冠状病毒而遭受经济损失的风险感知，以及（3）两者的交互作用。在多层回归模型中，还加入了个体和国家层面的变量作为协变量。我们研究了对各种预防保健行为的遵守情况以及对严格遏制政策的支持情况。结果表明，感知到的经济风险一直是预测缓解行为和政策支持的因素，其影响是积极的。而感知到的健康风险则具有混合效应。只确定了两个健康风险和经济风险之间的显著交互作用，均为正相关。
