Abstract:

Analyze whether the content of three moral messages (deontological, ethical utilitarianism, ethical virtue) and a control message differentially affect the probability of engaging in four behaviors: Washing their hands, participating in public gatherings, staying at home/avoiding social contact, and forwarding the message to inform more people. In our study, the sender of the message is a university professor. These variables are measured in terms of their behavioral intentions and others’ behavioral intentions (beliefs about others’ behavior). Randomized Controlled Trial. Our study includes the analysis of the possible moderating effect of the country of residence (Spain n = 1,122, Chile n = 1,107, and Colombia n = 1,433). The message with content referring to ethical virtue and staying at home obtains statistically significant lower scores on the probability of carrying out public health behaviors and sharing the message received. Regarding beliefs about the behavior of others, the message of ethical virtue has the same negative effect, but only on the likelihood of other people washing their hands, staying at home, and sharing the public health message. Institutional messages aimed at promoting public health behaviors are necessary in a pandemic situation. Our recommendation is to use deontological and utilitarian, or non-moral, content.

Survey: A todos los participantes, universidades y asociaciones nuestro agradecimiento. Gracias por participar en el estudio.

 

The survey was distributed through WhatsApp and other social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn), as well as on the ResearchGate profiles of the team members. Furthermore, in Spain, the University of Valencia, and the University Pompeu Fabra collaborated by putting the link in the news section of their institutional websites, and the Association of Retired People of the University of Valencia (APRJUV) y la Asociación Española de Metodología de las Ciencias del Comportamiento (AEMCCO) distributed the link among all their members. A large number of university lecturers also directly collaborated in the survey’s dissemination. In Chile, the invitation was announced in the Network of Schools of Social Work belonging to universities of the Council of Deans of Chilean Universities, in a newspaper with electronic circulation in the city of Arica, in dance groups, and in groups of Scout leaders. In Colombia, the survey was sent via email through the University of Magdalena databases and by telephone.
