Fig 3. Motivations behind mask wearing.

Fig 3

In this figure, we visualize the results from regressing mask wearing on the variables of interest risk aversion and altruism. The x-axis shows the estimate for the coefficient on risk aversion and the estimate for the coefficient on altruism first without covariates, then including only situational covariates, then including only individual covariates, and finally including both. The thin line represents the 95% confidence interval and the thick line represents the 90% confidence interval. Risk aversion and altruism are binary variables standardized at median. Situational covariates include having had COVID-19 symptoms, household size, using public transport, having had contact to a COVID-19 infected person at work, having had contact to a COVID-19 infected person outside work, belonging to a COVID-19 risk group, living with a household member who belongs to a COVID-19 risk group, having traveled internationally for at least 2 days since 1st of February 2020. Individual covariates include being a health worker (doctor or nurse), age group, education group (low, medium or high level of education), being native and gender.
