Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, om og hvordan forskellige former for social kapital (bonding, bridging og linking) hænger sammen med borgeres efterlevelse af myndighedsdirektiver og sundhedsanbefalinger under COVID-19-pandemien. Med fokus på seks bydele i Montreal, Quebec, bygger studiet på et spørgeskema fra vinteren 2020 indsamlet som led i et større CITE-ID-projekt. Ved hjælp af statistiske analyser (chi-kvadrat uafhængighedstest, uafhængige t-test og Pearson-korrelationer) undersøges sammenhænge mellem sociale bånd og efterlevelse af ikke-farmaceutiske indsatser. Baggrunden er forskning, der peger på, at høj social kapital styrker modstandsdygtighed, og på debat om, hvordan forskellige sociale bånd kan påvirke adfærd i langvarige kriser. Dette uddrag præsenterer formål, kontekst og metode; specifikke empiriske resultater fremgår ikke af de medtagne sider.
This thesis examines whether and how different forms of social capital (bonding, bridging, and linking) are associated with residents’ adherence to governmental directives and public health recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on six boroughs of Montreal, Quebec, it draws on a questionnaire administered in winter 2020 as part of a larger CITE-ID project. Using statistical tests (chi-square tests of independence, independent-sample t-tests, and Pearson correlations), the study explores associations between social ties and compliance with non-pharmaceutical interventions. The work is motivated by evidence that higher social capital supports community resilience and by debates about how different social ties influence behavior during prolonged crises. The provided pages outline the research aim, context, and methods; specific empirical findings are not included in this excerpt.
