Cultural Perceptions of Risk, Behavioral Responses, and Community Resilience in COVID-19

banner-covid-cultural-perceptions

The goals of this Working Group are to ascertain how perceptions of COVID-19 risk are formed and transformed into behaviors that impact the recovery of institutions and households. The Working Group conceptualizes risk perception as a cultural construction based on group identity, shared metaphors, and trust in community institutions that shape community resiliency. Its research methods include online surveys, telephone interviews, and mathematical modeling. Results will inform psychological, economic, and institutional recovery efforts.
