This study aimed to identify and examine a context-specific personality variable that would allow for robust prediction of compliance with COVID-19 pandemic measures. Therefore, we analyzed the specificity of the current pandemic and proposed a concept and a measure of individual differences in the sense of responsibility for collective health (SRCH). This concept reflects individual's others-oriented approach to the pandemic. It refers to an individual's concern for collective health and the feeling of obligation to contribute to contain the pandemic in one's social environment. The results of Study 1 confirmed SRCH as the strongest predictor of the acceptance of pandemic-related restrictions, when comparing its predictive value with that of pandemic-related worries (considered a context-specific but self-oriented tendency) and two general traits indicating high orientation towards the self (i.e., grandiose and vulnerable narcissism). In Study 2, we compared the ability of SRCH to predict increased hygiene and social distancing with that of pandemic-related worries and narcissistic traits, and of social responsibility personal values-treated as others-oriented personality trait. The results revealed that SRCH explained most of the variance in social distancing, whereas pandemic-related worries predicted most of the variance in hygiene practices, although leaving SRCH a significant predictor.
本研究旨在识别和检验一种特定情境下的人格变量，该变量能够有力地预测对新冠疫情防控措施的遵守情况。因此，我们分析了当前疫情的特殊性，并提出了集体健康责任感（SRCH）这一个体差异的概念及衡量方法。这一概念反映了个体针对疫情的他人导向型应对方式。它指的是个体对集体健康的关注以及在其社交环境中为遏制疫情做出贡献的义务感。研究1的结果证实，在将集体健康责任感的预测价值与疫情相关担忧（一种特定情境下但自我导向型的倾向）以及两种表明高度自我导向的一般特质（即夸大性自恋和脆弱性自恋）的预测价值进行比较时，集体健康责任感是接受疫情相关限制的最强预测指标。在研究2中，我们将集体健康责任感预测加强卫生措施和保持社交距离的能力，与疫情相关担忧、自恋特质以及社会责任个人价值观（被视为他人导向型人格特质）的预测能力进行了比较。结果显示，集体健康责任感解释了社交距离方面的大部分变异，而疫情相关担忧预测了卫生习惯方面的大部分变异，不过集体健康责任感仍是一个显著的预测指标。
