The project investigates drivers of acceptance and utilization of hygienic products e.g. face masks or disinfectants in a cross-cultural comparison. Besides exploring explicit attitudes & motives by standardized questionnaires, we utilize the AYB software platform developed at Chair of Marketing and Innovation, University of Hamburg to measure implicit attitudes and behavior towards face mask wearing behavior.
The empirical project consists of two phases: The first survey phase is planned to start June 2020. This cross-sectional study should provide valuable insights for public policy & health communication. A second survey phase is planned for fall to assess attitudinal and behavioral changes. Within this longitudinal study, we also want to analyse the effects of different national communication campaigns & settings on the acceptance and usage of hygienic products.
