Both material resources (jobs, healthcare), and socio-psychological resources (social contact) decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated whether individual differences in perceived material and socio-psychological scarcity experienced during the pandemic predicted preference for cooperation, measured using two Public Good Games (PGGs), where participants contributed money or time (i.e., hours indoors contributed to shorten the lockdown). Material scarcity had no relationship with cooperation. Increased perceived scarcity of socio-psychological wellbeing (e.g., connecting with family) predicted increased preference for cooperation, suggesting that missing social contact fosters prosociality, whilst perceived scarcity of freedom (e.g., limited movement) predicted decreased willingness to spend time indoors to shorten the lockdown. The importance of considering individual differences in scarcity perception to best promote norm compliance is discussed.
在新冠疫情期间，物质资源（工作、医疗保健）和社会心理资源（社会交往）都有所减少。我们调查了疫情期间所感受到的物质和社会心理匮乏方面的个体差异，是否能预测合作偏好，这是通过两个公共物品博弈（PGG）来衡量的，参与者在其中贡献金钱或时间（即室内时间，以缩短封锁期）。物质匮乏与合作没有关系。社会心理健康方面（如与家人联系）感知到的匮乏增加，预示着合作偏好增强，这表明缺少社会交往会促进亲社会行为，而自由方面（如行动受限）感知到的匮乏则预示着花时间在室内以缩短封锁期的意愿降低。文中讨论了考虑匮乏感知方面个体差异以最佳促进规范遵守的重要性。
