Fig. 6: Predicting paranoia from pandemic features.
From: Paranoia and belief updating during the COVID-19 crisis
Regression model predictions (n = 172) in states where masks were recommended (left) versus mandated (right). Paranoia predictions based on estimated state mask-wearing (x axis, low to high mask-wearing) and cultural tightness. Red: loose states that do not prize conformity. Blue: states with median tightness. Green: tight states that are conservative and rule-following. Paranoia is highest when mask-wearing is low in culturally tight states with a mask-wearing mandate (F(11, 160) = 1.91, P = 0.04). Values represent high, median and low estimated state tightness. The shaded regions represent the 95% confidence interval.
