Abstract
Immunization by vaccination is one of the most important tools for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet in many countries, immunization campaigns have been hampered by vaccine hesitancy within the population. Building on the idea that vaccination decisions are embedded in the broader societal context, we study the role of generalized trust—the belief that most people can generally be trusted—in vaccine acceptance. Immunization campaigns face an inherent collective action problem: As all individuals benefit collectively from high immunization rates regardless of individual contribution, especially those with a low risk of severe COVID infection have an incentive to decide against the (perceived) costs and risks of vaccination. We argue that generalized trust may help to overcome this problem by encouraging the belief that cooperation for the common good is achievable and that those who cooperate are unlikely to be exploited by others. We further argue that the positive effect of generalized trust on vaccination decisions is weaker among individuals who are at higher risk of severe outcomes from the disease, as the collective action problem is less pronounced in this group. To test our predictions, we used data from the SOEP-CoV survey, which queried a representative probability sample of Germany’s population between January and February 2021 on topics connected to the pandemic. Using multiple logistic regression models, and in line with expectations, we found a positive and robust link between generalized trust and the willingness to accept vaccination as soon as offered. However, overall, our examination of heterogeneous effects does not unequivocally support the idea that the role of generalized trust varies according to individual COVID risk.

New Publication by Sebastian Sattler on Cooperative Behavior in the Workplace published in Frontiers in Psychology
Sattler, S., Dubljevic, V., Racine, E. (2022): Cooperative Behavior in the Workplace: Empirical Evidence from The Agent-Deed-Consequences Model of Moral Judgment. Frontiers in Psychology 13: 1064442. doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1064442
Introduction:
Moral judgment is of critical importance in the work context because of
its implicit or explicit omnipresence in a wide range of work-place
practices. The moral aspects of actual behaviors, intentions, and
consequences represent areas of deep preoccupation, as exemplified in
current corporate social responsibility programs, yet there remain
ongoing debates on the best understanding of how such aspects of
morality (behaviors, intentions, and consequences) interact. The ADC
Model of moral judgment integrates the theoretical insights of three
major moral theories (virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism)
into a single model, which explains how moral judgment occurs in
parallel evaluation processes of three different components: the
character of a person (Agent-component); their actions (Deed-component);
and the consequences brought about in the situation
(Consequences-component). The model offers the possibility of overcoming
difficulties encountered by single or dual-component theories. Methods:
We designed a 2 × 2 × 2-between-subjects design vignette experiment
with a Germany-wide sample of employed respondents (N = 1,349) to test
this model. Results: Results showed that the Deed-component affects
willingness to cooperate in the work context, which is mediated via
moral judgments. These effects also varied depending on the levels of
the Agent- and Consequences-component. Discussion: Thereby, the results
exemplify the usefulness of the ADC Model in the work context by showing
how the distinct components of morality affect moral judgment. LINK
