Why do people comply? COVID-19 compliance behaviours in international and local perspective

Getting people to behave in desirable ways (or cease behaving in undesirable ones) is a critical outcome for regulators. While we struggle to save lives and flatten the curve, COVID-19 is providing behavioural and compliance researchers with a natural policy experiment in why people do and don’t do what they’re told, and how this differs across countries and cultures. Both our distinguished speakers are leading real-time research on how people are behaving in response to social distancing and lock down requirements, and most importantly, why they comply. Some of the results will almost certainly surprise you, not to mention help inform your future compliance strategies.
