cord-025744-pynqwj5t	van der Linden, Clifton	Does Collective Interest or Self-Interest Motivate Mask Usage as a Preventive Measure Against COVID-19?	2020-05-14		.txt	text/plain	2359	108	52	Even though wearing a mask may indirectly protect the wearer in that increased mask usage by the general public may reduce overall transmission of COVID-19, Olson's logic asserts that individuals would instead free ride based on the expectation that other group members would adopt mask usage. Going forward, how likely are you to voluntarily (i.e., without being required to do so) wear a mask or any sort of protective face covering out in public as a preventative measure against COVID-19? When compared with the control group, the collective interest treatment increases the average respondent's inclination to wear a mask by 0.505 points on the 11-point continuous scale. The results of Model 1 demonstrate that Canadians are more willing to wear masks as a measure to protect others from COVID-19 rather than themselves.	./cache/cord-025744-pynqwj5t.txt	./txt/cord-025744-pynqwj5t.txt
