Convincing Covidiots
•
This researcher wanted to better understand the ways to gain compliance for people to stay at home, wear a mask, and social distance. He used Moral Foundations Theory, which states that people judge the “rightness” or “wrongness” of behaviors along with five different moral concerns or “foundations.” The first is…

Water for sale or rent, you can be sure it’s more than 50 cents…
