Special Case

BACKGROUND The foray of Covid-19 around the globe is sure to have instigated worries in many humans, and lockdown measures may well have created their own worries. Sweden, in contrast to most other countries, had first relied on voluntary measures, but had to change its policy in the face of an increasing number of infections. OBJECTIVE The aim was to better understand the worried reactions to the virus and the lockdown measures. To grasp the reactions, their development over time was studied. METHODS Results were based on an unbalanced panel sample of 261 Swedish participants filling in 3218 interview questionnaires by smartphone in a 7-week period in 2020. Causal factors considered in this study include the perceived severity of an infection, the susceptibility of a person to the threat posed by the virus, the perceived efficacy of safeguarding measures and the assessment of government action against the spread of Covid-19. The effect of these factors on worries was traced in two analytical steps: the effects at the beginning of the study, and the effect on the trend during the study. RESULTS Findings confirmed that the hypothesized causal factors (severity of infection, susceptibility to the threat of the virus, efficacy of safeguarding and the assessment of government preventive action did indeed affect worries. CONCLUSIONS The results confirmed earlier research in a very special case and demonstrated the usefulness of a different study design, which takes a longitudinal perspective, and a new type of data analysis borrowed from multi-level study design.

88 counselor-trainees were given information about a potential client using either a problem-focused or strength-focused pre-intake form Based on the information provided, counselor-trainees rated the client on the perceived severity of client's problem, difficulty of treatment, attractiveness of case, anticipated duration of treatment, and usefulness of the pre-intake information. This pilot project suggested that the type of information provided to trainees influenced their perceptions of the case, in particular, affording a more positive view of the client.

Perceived Behavior

The purpose of this study is to understand fashion consumers’ channel switching to online stores during the COVID-19. We proposed an extended theory of planned behavior by incorporating protection motivation theory. The results showed that consumer assessments of perceived severity and altruistic fear of COVID-19 and response efficacy and self-efficacy of channel switching increased their beliefs (i.e., attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norm) and intentions to switch shopping channels to online. We also found that the age (young vs. old) moderated the effects of response efficacy and self-efficacy on perceived behavior control, perceived severity on subjective norm, perceived behavior control on channel switching intentions, and channel switching intention on actual switching behavior. The findings provide fashion retailers and the society with a better understanding about fashion consumers’ shopping channel switching under the pandemic.

Student Subjects

Previous research with mock jurors which concerned attribution of responsibility for a deviant/criminal act traditionally varied the “severity” of the act presented to subjects. Yet severity and justifiability of that act are seldom if ever differentiated. These dimensions are, both practically and theoretically, potentially disparate yet past research has neglected the dimension of justifiability. To test this possible distinction defendant's social status, victim's social status, severity of the crime (armed robbery vs petty larceny), and compensation to the victim were systematically varied in written criminal cases presented to 168 male and 228 female student subjects, randomly chosen. Subjects made a distinction between the two dimensions and both were highly associated with the recommended sanctions. These data were taken as evidence that (1) previous research has been remiss in not distinguishing between these two dimensions and (2) Heider's Level 5 of developmental stages of responsibility attribution (justifiability) was given support.
