Article Citation - WoS: 8Trust in Government Moderates the Association between Fear of COVID-19 as Well as Empathic Concern and Preventive Behaviour(Springer Nature, 2023-12-15) Karakulak, Arzu; Tepe, Beyza; Dimitrova, Radosveta; Abdelrahman, Mohamed; Akaliyski, Plamen; Alaseel, Rana; Alkamali, Yousuf Abdulqader; Rudnev, MaksimWith the COVID-19 pandemic, behavioural scientists aimed to illuminate reasons why people comply with (or not) large-scale cooperative activities. Here we investigated the motives that underlie support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours in a sample of 12,758 individuals from 34 countries. We hypothesized that the associations of empathic prosocial concern and fear of disease with support towards preventive COVID-19 behaviours would be moderated by trust in the government. Results suggest that the association between fear of disease and support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours was strongest when trust in the government was weak (both at individual- and country-level). Conversely, the association with empathic prosocial concern was strongest when trust in the government was high, but this moderation was only found at individual-level scores of governmental trust. We discuss how motivations may be shaped by socio-cultural context, and outline how findings may contribute to a better understanding of collective action during global crises.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Measurement Invariance of the Moral Vitalism Scale Across 28 Cultural Groups(Public Library of Science, 2020-06-09) Bilewicz, Michal; Kuppens, Peter; Crespo, Carla; Collier-Baker, Emma; Fischer, Ronald; Pelay, Cesar; Peker, Müjde; Pina, Afroditi; Karasawa, Minoru; Hooper, Nic; Vauclair, Christin-Melanie; Friese, Malte; AminihajibashiI, Samira; Wailan Yeung, Victoria; Rudnev, Maksim; Eastwic, Paul; Luis Castellanos Guevara, Jose; Saguy, Tamar; Silfver-Kuhalampi, Mia; Gomez, Angel; Becker, Maja; Loughnan, Steve; Bastian, Brock; Swann, William; Tong, Jennifer (Yuk-Yue); Sortheix, Florencia; Guerra, Valeschka; Huang, Li-li; Shi, Junqi; Hanke, Katja; Sachkova, Marianna; Castellanos Guevara, Jose Luis; Guevara, José Luis Castellanos; Aminihajibashi, SamiraMoral vitalism refers to a tendency to view good and evil as actual forces that can influence people and events. The Moral Vitalism Scale had been designed to assess moral vitalism in a brief survey form. Previous studies established the reliability and validity of the scale in US-American and Australian samples. In this study, the cross-cultural comparability of the scale was tested across 28 different cultural groups worldwide through measurement invariance tests. A series of exact invariance tests marginally supported partial metric invariance, however, an approximate invariance approach provided evidence of partial scalar invariance for a 5-item measure. The established level of measurement invariance allows for comparisons of latent means across cultures. We conclude that the brief measure of moral vitalism is invariant across 28 cultures and can be used to estimate levels of moral vitalism with the same precision across very different cultural settings.
