Social behaviours and policy stringency a) Prosocial behaviours

Note: Kernel-weighted local polynomial smooth of total number of prosocial behaviours over the stringency level of the national COVID-19 countermeasures on the day of the survey response (Hale et al., 2021), with 95% confidence intervals. Period: October 1, 2020–March 25, 2021. Sample: N = 18,438, weighted based on age, gender and education (observations from countries with less than 150 responses were excluded).

b) Social relations

Note: Kernel-weighted local polynomial smooth of social relations index over the stringency level of the national COVID-19 countermeasures in the day of reporting (Hale et al., 2021), with 95% confidence intervals. Period: October 1, 2020–March 25, 2021. Sample: N = 18,438, weighted based on age, gender and education (observations from countries with less than 150 responses were excluded).
