A study co-authored by a risk perception and public policy expert at Cal State Fullerton shows that close family and friend relationships are a key influence in how people respond to government restrictions related to COVID-19.
Justin Tucker, associate professor of political science at Cal State Fullerton, and Matt Miles, professor of political science at Brigham Young University-Idaho, found relationships to be the strongest information channel for shaping public opinion on policies related to COVID-19.
The professors surveyed more than 2,000 people across the country in June 2020 on their support of policies related to COVID-19. They found that people who have a close relationship with someone who contracted the virus, even in asymptomatic cases, had a significantly higher perception of risk than those who did not know anyone affected.
