Conclusions
infection, ’s behavior
INFECTION
A single administration of an implementation intention-based intervention was insufficient to change people’s behavior with respect to wearing face coverings, but it would be worthwhile exploring repeated administration of implementation intentions. As infection rates declined, so too did people’s wearing of face coverings; while people’s perceptions of their capabilities and opportunities remained stable, levels of motivation declined. Preparations for future viral pandemics that are airborne transmissible should focus on motivating people to take up face coverings.
