Abstract

Why increasing risk-evaluation of covid-19 pandemic may not increase support for its regulations? We investigated how the effects of risk-evaluation on covid-19 regulations may differ in conditions. Only when imagining close others’ being quarantined or infected with covid-19, the higher the risk-evaluation, the higher support people have towards its regulations.
