The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has hit minorities more profoundly than the majority society. We evaluated the interplay between ethnic minority identity, gender, and COVID-19-related attitudes and behaviours.
Using data from a survey carried out among both members of ethnic minorities in Poland and Mexico and the majority outgroups, we assessed the perception of the pandemic as a grave threat to the self and to the world, as well as compliance with the protective measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. We tested the effects of gender and minority versus majority status on protective compliance, and of the pandemic as a threat to the self and the world.
A two-way ANOVA test with gender and ethnicity factors revealed significant effects of gender, ethnicity, and gender × ethnicity interaction. The effect of gender was significant for compliance with protective behaviours, threat to the self, and threat to the world. Women had higher mean levels of protective behaviours, perceptions of threat to the self, and perceptions of threat to the world than men. The effect of Indigenous ethnicity was significant for protective behaviours and threat to the world. The mean level of protective behaviours and threat to the world was higher for ethnic minority groups than for non-minority groups.
Maladaptive gender differences in COVID-19-related attitudes and behaviour are less prominent among people self-identifying as ethnic minority members.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）大流行对少数族裔的影响比对多数群体社会的影响更为深远。我们评估了少数族裔身份、性别与新冠病毒病（COVID-19）相关态度和行为之间的相互作用。
利用在波兰和墨西哥的少数族裔成员以及多数外群体中开展的一项调查数据，我们评估了将大流行视为对自身及对世界的严重威胁的认知，以及对预防COVID-19传播的保护措施的遵守情况。我们测试了性别以及少数族裔与多数群体身份对保护措施遵守情况的影响，以及大流行对自身和对世界的威胁的影响。
一项包含性别和种族因素的双向方差分析显示，性别、种族以及性别×种族交互作用均有显著影响。性别对保护行为的遵守情况、对自身的威胁以及对世界的威胁有显著影响。女性在保护行为、对自身的威胁感知以及对世界的威胁感知方面的平均水平高于男性。少数族裔身份对保护行为和对世界的威胁有显著影响。少数族裔群体在保护行为和对世界的威胁方面的平均水平高于非少数族裔群体。
在自我认同为少数族裔成员的人群中，与COVID-19相关的态度和行为方面的适应不良性别差异不那么突出。
