Note: The self-reported behaviors are consistent with the measures of actual behavior. The table shows the relationship between the four self-reported indices of behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic and our three incentivized behaviors in the survey (buys cloth face mask, information seeking and donation to the COVID-19 fund). The table gives the coefficients from linear regressions (dependent variables are the incentivized measures), controlling for age and gender. Heteroscedasticity robust standard errors are shown in parentheses. P-values are based on one-sided tests. * , ** , *** .
