\n How people respond to pandemic health guidelines may be a quick way to see their true colors.<\/p>\n

A peer-reviewed study set to be published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science<\/a> found that individuals with higher rates of \u201cdark traits,\u201d such as psychopathy, were more likely to purposefully disregard protocols intended to stop the spread of the coronavirus. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was clear from reports in the media very early in the COVID-19 pandemic that some people were rejecting advice to socially distance and engage in increased hygiene,\u201d study author and director of the Personality Laboratory at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, Pavel S. Blagov tells the PsyPost. This included stories of people coughing, spitting and licking door handles in public as an intimidation or rebellion technique.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere can be many reasons for this, and I thought that personality may play at least a small role in it,\u201d Blagov says, noting that prior research has suggested that those with strong \u201cdark triad\u201d traits (that\u2019s narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy) are \u201clinked to health risk behavior and health problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI expected them to be implicated in health behaviors during the pandemic,\u201d Blagov adds.<\/p>\n

Researchers surveyed 502 US adults during late March for the study, both assessing their personalities and gauging how well they were complying with recommended protocols like social distancing. While most participants reported they were willing to act accordingly in the name of protecting loved ones and strangers alike, some said they were ignoring spread-stopping advice. Those rejecting the advice, Blagov found, had higher rates of psychopathic personality features, including neuroticism, disinhibition (risk-taking) and meanness.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople scoring high on these traits tended to claim that, if they had COVID-19, they might knowingly or deliberately expose others to it,\u201d Blagov says.<\/p>\n

It is possible that these people are super-spreaders and \u201chave a disproportionate impact on the pandemic by failing to protect themselves and others,\u201d says Blagov.<\/p>\n

Although the study\u2019s findings create an app<\/a>ealing, villainizing narrative, Blagov warns more research is necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results do not mean that viral disease is spread only by irresponsible or inconsiderate people. The correlations were often small, and the scientific definitions of traits are not everyday judgments about character,\u201d he says.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
