This article reassesses the gender differences in COVID-19 attitudes and behavior found in previous studies by examining to what extent the gender gap in the adoption of COVID-19 preventive behaviors is dependent on women's and men's perceptions of risk.
The data utilized in this study were obtained from the "Understanding America Study Coronavirus in America ('COVID') Survey," conducted by the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR), at the University of Southern California.
This study shows that women are more risk averse than men, but that the gender gap in risk behavior depends on the level of risk that is associated with COVID-19.
Risk perception is a stronger driver of risk behavior for men than for women, who generally tend to adopt safe measures to protect themselves and others. Different messages should be delivered to women and men to increase compliance with norms.
本文通过研究在采取新冠疫情预防行为方面的性别差距在多大程度上取决于男性和女性对风险的认知，重新评估先前研究中发现的新冠疫情态度和行为上的性别差异。
本研究使用的数据来自南加州大学经济与社会研究中心（CESR）开展的“美国理解冠状病毒研究（‘COVID’）调查”。
本研究表明，女性比男性更厌恶风险，但风险行为中的性别差距取决于与新冠疫情相关的风险水平。
风险认知对男性风险行为的驱动作用比对女性更强，女性通常倾向于采取安全措施来保护自己和他人。应该向男性和女性传递不同的信息，以提高对规范的遵守程度。
